WMI and WFC

[neather]

I'm writing some instrumentation for a WCF web service. Honestly could be
anything for that matter. I was exploring the use of both the Ent Lib 4.1
(which generally I stay away outside of logging and caching) but for this
project I'm trying to find best in breed way of adding WMI to the
application. So far I believe I've successfully added an instance and event
class to a console application I'm testing but was wondering if anyone had
any experiences with the best way to add some basic instrumentation that has
stood the test of time wiht WMI for MOM or SCOM viewing. Or has encountered
any problems in using WQL for querying the data of an added instance from
.NET. I had some issues while running XP querying the newly created instance
from the WMI Studio where the Studio would give me errors indicating the
instance was not found. These errors seemed to go away when I ran the
application outside of DEbug mode from within VS 2008, 3.5 SP1. But if
anyone else has had any issues with either Ent Lib 4.1 or the standard
System.Management namespace under these or production 2008 boxes feel free to
share your experiences.

Our transaction rates and number of spawned instances could be as high as 1
million...so feel free to comment on that as well. Typically I would not be
adding this in WMI for that reason but this is a requirement for the current
project.
