  Defines a server property associated with a [Server](../../../analysis-services/scripting/objects/server-element-assl.md) element.  
  
## Syntax  
  
```xml  
  
<ServerProperties>  
   <ServerProperty>  
      <Name>...</Name>  
      <Value>...</Value>  
            <RequiresRestart>...</RequiresRestart>  
            <PendingValue>...</PendingValue>  
      <DefaultValue>...</DefaultValue>

## Element Relationships  
  
|Relationship|Element|  
|------------------|-------------|  
|Parent elements|[ServerProperties](../../../analysis-services/scripting/collections/serverproperties-element-assl.md)|  
|Child elements|[DefaultValue](../../../analysis-services/scripting/properties/defaultvalue-element-assl.md), [DisplayFlag](../../../analysis-services/scripting/properties/displayflag-element-assl.md), [Name](../../../analysis-services/scripting/properties/name-element-assl.md), [PendingValue](../../../analysis-services/scripting/properties/pendingvalue-element-assl.md), [RequiresRestart](../../../analysis-services/scripting/properties/requiresrestart-element-assl.md), [Value](../../../analysis-services/scripting/properties/value-element-assl.md)|  
  
## Remarks  
 The **ServerProperty** element describes the data and metadata for a server property associated with an instance of [!INCLUDE[msCoName](../../../includes/msconame-md.md)] [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] [!INCLUDE[ssASnoversion](../../../includes/ssasnoversion-md.md)]. Unlike elements contained by other collections in the Analysis Services Scripting Language (ASSL), the **ServerProperty** element uses name/value pairs instead of explicitly named elements to describe server properties. The name/value pairs provide for flexibility and extensibility.  
  
 The corresponding element in the Analysis Management Objects (AMO) object model is <xref:Microsoft.AnalysisServices.ServerProperty>.
