Testing discovery script in Powershell gives error on $api.CreateDiscoveryData(0, $sourceId, $managedEntityId)

Hello,

I'm currently starting to develop management packs for SCOM, i understand the basics and can build a simple management pack using powershell.

During testing i'm running into a problem, when running the powershell script directly it gives an error. If i use the discovery script in a management pack everything works ok.

The error is:

Exception calling "CreateDiscoveryData" with "3" argument(s): "Ongeldige klassereeks (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800401F3 (CO_E_CLASSSTRING))"

Part of it is in dutch but it means something like invalid class.

I tried to run the script on one of our management servers but it also gives this error.

It's very frustrating because i want to test the discovery scripts first before building the complete management pack.

Thanks for your help!

Something along these lines should work for you:

.\DiscoveryTest.ps1 -sourceID ([guid]::NewGuid().ToString("B")) -managedEntityID ([guid]::NewGuid().ToString("B"))

Of course your parameter names and numbers may differ.
