Hello all,
I want to thank those that released the SDK. It's a great tool and we've used it extensively.
We have a powershell script, using v1.10.16.0 of the SDK, which we use to add nodes, setup pollers, and set the nodes Custom Properties. After upgrading Orion Network Performance Monitor from 11.0.1 to 11.5 values for Custom Properties no longer get set. It's as if the initial node creation seems to no longer create the ground work or index for custom properties to be added/edited. When we run the script there's no errors generated.
After a node is added via the PS script, if you go in through the WebGUI, and edit the custom properties of the node, save it and go back, the values for those custom properties have reverted back to the origional values. We are not seeing any issues if a node is manually added via the GUI. I have a feeling some of the tables have been split and it's almost like the '
Has anyone else run into this issue?

. It looks like you can no longer use empty string for VolumeSpaceAvailable. so I commented it out and the information was passed into the database. If this is not an appropriate method, please let me know what I should pass. I currently see the drive in the vital stats page. thank you for your help.
