New Post: Result Details: shredding the XML

Hello Gabriela, I wish I had better news for you, but I don't think this is documented.  I have asked the product team for help on this same question in the past, but was told that the logic to interpret the details was written in the gui. (SSMS)  If I remember correctly, dissecting the XML is even more challenging when the condition had multiple expressions (I am completely going off some very old memories, though - it has been a long time since I tried to attack this issue).  In the end, I had to put aside writing reports against this data due to the lack of documentation.  Perhaps I can try to look at it again in a few weeks. 

Have you had any luck with this? My problem is that when something fails, I can't even go to my central management server to see a GUI like detailed problem, but I have to go the server in question and then run the policy to see the specific problem. This has two problems:

1. It doesn't allow the report to be all that it could be.
2. I have to go through the SSMS GUI in order to evaluate the policy to see the detail.
   

I understand and can appreciate your perspective, but we need a solution. Any luck?
