The ImportMachineEntry Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class method, in Configuration Manager, that imports computer information.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and defines the method.

uint32 ImportMachineEntry 
{
	[IN]	String NetbiosName
	[IN]	String SMBIOSGUID
	[IN]	String MACAddress
	[IN]	Boolean OverwriteExistingRecord
	[IN]	String FQDN
	[IN]	Boolean IsAMTMachine
	[IN]	String MEBxPassword
	[IN]	String AdminPassword
	[IN]	Boolean AddToCollection
	[IN]	SMS_CollectionRule CollectionRule
	[IN]	String CollectionId
	[IN]	String WTGUniqueKey
	[OUT]   Boolean MachineExists
	[OUT]   UInt32 ResourceID
	[OUT]   String SMSUniqueIdentifier
};

Parameters

NetbiosName

Data type: StringQualifiers: [id("0"), in]The NetBIOS name for the computer.
SMBIOSGUID

Data type: StringQualifiers: [id("1"), in]The GUID for the system management BIOS (SMBIOS).
MACAddress

Data type: StringQualifiers: [id("2"), in]The media access controller (MAC) address. The MAC address must be for a network adapter that has a driver in Windows PE. The MAC address must be in colon format. For example, 00:00:00:00:00:00. Other formats prevent the client from receiving policy.
OverwriteExistingRecord

Data type: BooleanQualifiers: [id("3"), in]true to overwrite the existing record.
FQDN

Data type: StringQualifiers: [id("4"), in, optional]Fully qualified domain name of this computer.
IsAMTMachine

Data type: BooleanQualifiers: [id("5"), in, optional]Enable out of band functionality on this computer.
MEBxPassword

Data type: StringQualifiers: [id("6"), in, optional]Management Engine BIOS extension (MEBx) password for the built-in Intel Active Management Technology (Intel AMT) firmware administrative user.
AdminPassword

Data type: StringQualifiers: [id("7"), in, optional]The changed password of the MEBx password that can occur during out of band provisioning.
AddToCollection

Data type: BooleanQualifiers: [id("8"), in, optional]true to add the computer to a collection.
CollectionRule

Data type: SMS_CollectionRuleQualifiers: [id("9"), in, optional]Adds the collection rule to a specified collection. The default value is NULL.
CollectionId

Data type: StringQualifiers: [id("10"), in, optional]The collection identifier for the collection which the computer is added to. The default value is empty.
WTGUniqueKey

Data type: StringQualifiers: [id("11"), in, optional]For a Windows To Go deployment, this is the USB unique key that will be used to identify the client, instead of the SMBIOS and MAC address.
MachineExists

Data type: BooleanQualifiers: [id("12"), out]true if the computer exists.
ResourceID

Data type: UInt32Qualifiers: [id("13"), out]Resource identifier for the computer.
SMSUniqueIdentifier

Data type: StringQualifiers: [id("14"), out]Unique identifier of Configuration Manager.
