I never used DCM much in 2007 but in 2012, I want to use it a lot more. So I've
been playing around with it and as a test, I set up a CI to check if a service
is running by using a Powershell script. The script I'm using is this:
If ( $(Get-Service -Name <servicename>).Status -eq "Running" ) { Write-Host
"True" } Else { Write-Host "False" }
I set the Data Type as "Script" and got it working but it got me thinking about
using "Boolean" instead. If I were to use Boolean, would True/False be the
current return value or would I need to use something else (like 0 and 1)?
Is there any good documentation on each of the data types? Technet doesn't
elaborate much on the different options. Like "Date and Time" for example, does
it require a certain format? Or if my script was checking the version of a file
and it returned "2013.1", would I use the Version data type or would I just use
String?
Also, I've used AutoIt a lot in the past for scripting. Is there any way to use
that or maybe a .bat file as a discovery/remediation script? I'm assuming I'd
have to use Jscript, VBScript, or Powershell to call the AutoIt script (which
is compiled to an .exe) but just wanted to confirm that. Maybe there was a way
through the SDK to add an additional scripting language.
Thanks.
