Detected malicious verification code when verifying element – ever run into this scenario while authoring?
Watch your copy/paste’s
In my example, adding Rules, Datasources, and WriteActions (including tasks). I was copying and pasting DataSources (DS) and WriteActions (WA), thought I had it all. Uploaded > got the error, and GRR! Hopefully this will help others authoring to know what to check to get the management pack uploaded.
Simply put – Watch out for typo’s!
I stumbled across a few sites, but nothing really pointed out to what caused the ‘detected malicious verification code’ when uploading a management pack. First, check monitor and rules to verify the DS/WA are called correctly (no errors in file names. Check the Tasks as well as DisplayStrings, to make sure everything matches.
Error Seen when uploading Management pack from SCOM Console GUI
<ManagementPackNameHere> Reports could not be imported.
If any management packs in the Import list are dependent on this management
pack, the installation of the dependent management packs will fail.
