One other thing worth mentioning. The Configuration Discovery integration relies on items that are installed with EIE. When I did the integration, it failed because we only had AIE installed (which left out some of the original EIE components). The answer was installing EIE and then upgrading to AIE before performing the Configuration Discovery Integration. This was a bug in the install process and I'm not sure if it has been addressed yet.
