    [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
};

  • MachineExists
    Data type: Boolean

    Qualifiers: [id("12"), out]

    true if the computer exists.

  • ResourceID
    Data type: UInt32
