Taylor,

I see when reading the KvpDataItem you are manually parsing the simplified MOF as an XML string but when writing it you are able to create an instance of Msvm_KvpExchangeDataItem and then serialize it into MOF with GetText(1). Is there any wayt that the read can be simplified by serializing the text into a Msvm_KvpExchangeDataItem?

@Mike Stopper - Mike, there is not but that is a great idea and I'll see if we can incorporate that into a future release.

@Ussantos - The only way to accomplish that would be to have a service in the guest to 'publish' this information into the registry.

Is there a way to get guest's free memory (memory utilization) using KVP?

Obs.: The guest is not using dynamic memory.

This is fantastic information.

I am going to incorporate this immediately into the solution I am building for System Center + HVR (basically making these PS scripts work within System Center Orchestrator).

I will give you all due credits and cross-reference this post when I publish my solution.

Thanks for sharing! :D

Taylor -

Is there an event that can be trapped in the guest OS (i.e., through Task Scheduler) that could in effect "wake" on addition or removal of a KVP pushed through from the host?
