I am trying to implement a discovery script as provided in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff400200.aspx Just changed the name: <ClassType ID="xxx.Samples.ScriptDiscovery.TheApplication" Abstract="false" Accessibility="Internal" Hosted="true" Base="Windows!Microsoft.Windows.LocalApplication"> <Property ID="Version" Type="string"/> <Property ID="Path" Type="string"/> </ClassType> ... <Discovery ID="xxx.Samples.ScriptDiscovery.TheApplication.Discovery" Target="Windows!Microsoft.Windows.Server.Computer" Remotable="false" Enabled="true"> <Category>Discovery</Category> <DiscoveryTypes> <DiscoveryClass TypeID="xxx.Samples.ScriptDiscovery.TheApplication"> <Property PropertyID="Version"/> <Property PropertyID="Path"/> <Property TypeID="System!System.Entity" PropertyID="DisplayName"/> </DiscoveryClass> </DiscoveryTypes> <DataSource ID="DS" TypeID="Windows!Microsoft.Windows.TimedScript.DiscoveryProvider"> <IntervalSeconds>3600</IntervalSeconds> <SyncTime/> <ScriptName>Microsoft.Samples.DiscoverApp.vbs</ScriptName> <Arguments>$MPElement$ $Target/Id$ $Target/Property[Type="Windows!Microsoft.Windows.Computer"]/PrincipalName$</Arguments> <ScriptBody> <![CDATA[ Option Explicit Dim oArgs Set oArgs = WScript.Arguments if oArgs.Count < 3 Then Wscript.Quit -1 End If Dim SourceID, ManagedEntityId, TargetComputer SourceId = oArgs(0) ManagedEntityId = oArgs(1) TargetComputer = oArgs(2) Dim oFso Set oFso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Dim oAPI, oDiscoveryData, oInst Set oAPI = CreateObject("MOM.ScriptAPI") set oDiscoveryData = oAPI.CreateDiscoveryData(0, SourceId, ManagedEntityId) set oInst = oDiscoveryData.CreateClassInstance("$MPElement[Name='xxx.Samples.ScriptDiscovery.TheApplication']$") call oInst.AddProperty("$MPElement[Name='Windows!Microsoft.Windows.Computer']/PrincipalName$", TargetComputer) call oInst.AddProperty("$MPElement[Name='xxx.Samples.ScriptDiscovery.TheApplication']/Version$", "2.0") call oInst.AddProperty("$MPElement[Name='xxx.Samples.ScriptDiscovery.TheApplication']/Path$", "C:\Microsoft\Samples\Modules") call oInst.AddProperty("$MPElement[Name='System!System.Entity']/DisplayName$", "TheApplication") call oDiscoveryData.AddInstance(oInst) Call oAPI.Return(oDiscoveryData) ]]> </ScriptBody> <TimeoutSeconds>20</TimeoutSeconds> </DataSource> </Discovery> ... Imported the management pack all well - no errors in th eevent log... but the instance is not discovered...

It looks like it took several hours to show up but I do see the object discovered when I open a Diagram View for the "Windows Computer" (the object is hosted in it). Does not show though in the "Discovered Inventory" view ... The bottom line - it is working...
