Remarks

You use ISmsMessaging::Invoke Method to pass the message to the location manager endpoint, MP_LocationManager. You set the target endpoint with ISmsMessage::SetTargetEndpoint Method.

The software inventory report header is passed in the **Invoke.**pRequest parameter.

The report body is passed by using ISmsMessageAttachment Interface. The report body attachment must be named {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000002}.

The following security flags can be applied to the message:

Security Mode	Required	Optional
Mixed	MPAPI_SECURITY_FLAG_MIXED_MODE	None.
Native	MPAPI_SECURITY_FLAG_NATIVE_MODE	MPAPI_SECURITY_FLAG_ENABLE_CRL_CHECKING

Use ISmsMessage4::SetSecurityFlags Method to set the security flags for the message.

For information about MPAPI security flags, see MPAPI_SECURITY_FLAGS Enumeration.
