And a nice change is that they have made the rules that monitor failure of scripts, commands and WMI queries less noisy and easier to understand. The rules has also been renamed, new names is listed in the following table:

Old name New name
Alert on Failure to Create Process for Batch Response Workflow Initialization: Failed to start a process or script
Alert on Failed Batch Responses Workflow Runtime: Failed to run a process or script
WMI Probe Module Runtime Failure Workflow Runtime: Failed to run a WMI query
WMI Probe Module Initialization Failure Workflow Initialization: Failed to start a workflow that queries WMI
WMI Event Module Runtime Failure Workflow Runtime: Failed to run a WMI query for WMI events
WMI Event Module Initialization Failure Workflow Initialization: Failed to start a workflow that queries WMI for WMI events
WMI Raw Performance Counter Module Runtime Failure Workflow Runtime: Failed to run a WMI query for performance data
WMI Raw Performance Counter Module Initialization Failure Workflow Initialization: Failed to start a workflow that queries WMI for performance data
(new rule) Workflow Initialization: Failed to start a workflow that runs a process or script

 

So if you have alot of script failuers and WMI errors import this MP!

The catalog accessible from the console has not been updated with the new version when this is published.
