I know; and you also wrote in to Dave, et al as well on a completely separate 
issue.
I don't see from that code where you're saving anything.

Jim,

Did a little more experimenting and have a better summation of my problem
(looks like a bug too me), this I posted on news.mircsoft.com:

I am trying to add a VendorParameterSet to using

IFPCVendorParameterSets->Add.  When I do this from a WScript .vbs file
everything works great.

However, when I do it from within my MMC plugin, the VendorParameterSet gets
added within the state of the MMC snaping (in process), however once the
process dies (mmc.exe is stopped) and I start mmc.exe and load the plugin
again the VendorParameterSet I added is missing.

It appears that I am not making the right call to save the
VendorParameterSet I have added to Mircosoft ISA Storage Server correctly --

in other words is there a call that makes it persist.  In ISA 2000 I have
some code to call IFPCVendorParameterSets->Save after

When I call my code from another process space everything works correctly.
This is very important -- becuase it appears that the MMC process space and
the interface that I get from MMC is the problem.

What I believe is the issue is that the IFPCArray I am getting from:


            hrReturn = pIFPCSnapinNode->get_ParentArray(&pIDispatch);

            if (FAILED(hrReturn))

            {

                  XLoadStringW(IDS_B1041,szErrorTemplate,MAX_ERROR_MSG);


swprintf(szErrorMsg,szErrorTemplate,hrReturn,__XFILE__,__LINE__);

                  goto End;

            }



            hrReturn = pIDispatch->QueryInterface(IID_IFPCArray,(void
**)&pIFPCArray);

            if (FAILED(hrReturn))

            {

                  XLoadStringW(IDS_B1041,szErrorTemplate,MAX_ERROR_MSG);


swprintf(szErrorMsg,szErrorTemplate,hrReturn,__XFILE__,__LINE__);

                  goto End;

            }

Is being used my the ISA Snap-In after I have called the Save -- and because
of that my changes are not getting saved.  i.e. the SaveBitMask is being
tampered with after I have turned over control to ISA Snap-In

It's not missing, you just overlooked it.
All objects / collections that support modification methods also include the
.save method.

Ok, doing a few more test I have determined that -
IFPCVendorParameterSets->Save needs to be called after
IFPCVendorParameterSets->Add, though this is not documented like
IFPCVendorParameterSet->Set -- in other words there is some missing
documentation in IFPCVendorParameterSets->Add.

So, now the problem is a little different (I have tested with and without
Save).  Basically I was calling a straight:

IFPCVendorParameterSets->Save()

in ISA 2000, in ISA 2004 Save takes two booleans variables.

However, I can't figure out what combination will write out the to
presistant storage right when I call Save -- like ISA 2000 when I am in my
MMC SnapIn

Interetly enought -- in a .vbs file doing a .Save does the job -- default
parameters work.

secondly the documentation for IFPCVendorParameterSets->Add doesn't say you
have to call Save.

Anyone doing any ISA 2004 programming?
