Collecting Service Discovery Data with the Windows File Replication Service Management Pack

Service discovery is the process of collecting computer attributes and components and identifying the roles and relationships of managed computers and entities. Many features of a Management Pack, such as reports and state monitoring, are available only after service discovery data is collected for the first time.

A service discovery cycle runs on a recurring schedule, with the first cycle running shortly after deployment of the Management Pack. The FRS Management Pack service discovery collection is based on data collected by Ultrasound every two hours. Increasing the frequency of service discovery will not result in more current data.
