The OtherDiscoveryType complex type, in Configuration Manager 2007, is a placeholder type for any other discovery source that is not defined natively in the schema document. Authors can define a setting with a child element of this type for sources that are not known to Configuration Manager. This ensures that the Configuration Manager administrator user interface is able to display the setting and rules can be authored against it. No discovery information will be displayed.
