Hey All. I am running a Dell Precision R5400 Workstation with dell OMCI installed. I am using it to test polling various data over WMI for our monitoring across the enterprise. I'm getting some weird results. perhaps someone can help point me in the direction of some clarification?

Posted is the results of my DCIM\SYSMAN\DCIM_NumericSensor probe for sensor type 2(temp sensor)

I'm not really sure whats going on, but note the CurrentReading: -214748365. I have reinstalled OMCI a few times, installed the OMCI 7x compatability and same thing I consistently get that error. It almost looks like its a issue between 32/64 bit value or something? Do I have to convert it to a float ? :)
