There are insufficient permissions to add a management group. The caller of this method must be an administrator. |
When the method returns, the management group is registered but it is not yet active with the agent. To activate the management group, either call ReloadConfiguration Method or restart the System Center Management Service.
On failure of this method, the existing settings of the agent will not be modified on Windows Vista and Windows 7. On Windows Server 2003, the method will attempt to either make all modifications or no modifications. However, in some cases this may not be possible. In these cases, RemoveManagementGroup Method should be called to clean up the failed add.
