Technical Background

The old Cluster WMI Scripts Rules uses MSCluster ActiveX object for which Microsoft has dropped support

Updated Cluster WMI Script Rules uses Failover Cluster WMI Provider to monitor state of various Cluster objects

It works even when Argent Advanced Technology Engine runs on a different OS platform than Cluster OS platform

Of course, WMI security must be properly configured on Cluster node to allow WMI connection from Argent Advanced Technology Engine
