Is there an Inspector or good method for component services details?

I would like to write an analysis for properties and other details for some of our COM+ Applications.

I understand that Microsoft has a script that will dump the contents to a XML file, so I can leverage that if I need to. Has anybody else tried this?

thanks,

-Gary

Hey Gary,

Can you provide a link to the MS script?

Good day Ben,

Here is a URL to a script that provides very much the same thing that we got from Microsoft. I don’t have authorization to upload the actual script yet but I wanted get your thoughts on this. The only real difference is that the script at the URL below returns only values for one application at a time in the XML, and the script that we got will return more. The structure is the same.

I was able to get some of the context using WMI but the queries took quite a while to run and I couldn’t get the higher level information that I need to audit in such as the Identity (the account the application will run under). At this point I’m assuming that I have to run a script and then parse the XML to get what I want into BES.

I think that approach will work for you… Specifically:

  1. Make a Task that downloads/runs this script and outputs the result to a file somewhere.

  2. Create a property that reads the file and brings back the information in BigFix.
