Add Computer to Collection

The Add Computer to Collection object will add a computer to an existing collection. The Add Computer to Collection object cannot add users or other resources to collections. Configuring the Add Computer to Collection object is similar to adding a computer to a collection using the SMS Administrator Console.

Note: The Opalis Client and Action Server user accounts must have sufficient rights to view programs, collections, and packages as well as create advertisements.
