AddMembershipRules Method in Class SMS_Collection

Artikkeli
10/04/2022

The AddMembershipRules (WMI) class method, in Configuration Manager, adds multiple new rules to the CollectionRules property of the SMS_Collection Server WMI Class object.

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

Syntax

SInt32 AddMembershipRules(  
     SMS_CollectionRule collectionRules[],  
     UInt32 QueryIDs[]  
);

Parameters

collectionRules
Data type: SMS_CollectionRule Array

Qualifiers: [in]

SMS_CollectionRule Server WMI Class objects to add.

QueryIDs
Data type: UInt32 Array

Qualifiers: [out]

IDs corresponding to the rules. These are Configuration Manager-generated query IDs for query rules. The IDs for direct rules are set to 0. Use QueryID to modify or delete a query membership rule.

Return Values

An SInt32 data type that is 0 to indicate success or non-zero to indicate failure.

For information about handling returned errors, see About Configuration Manager Errors.

Remarks

The AddMembershipRules method does not validate a query rule, but simply adds it to the rules list. This can create debugging issues when the collection does not contain the intended membership. Your application should always validate the query rule before adding it to the collection rules by using the ValidateQuery Method in Class SMS_CollectionRuleQuery.

The AddMembershipRules method can also be used to modify membership rules. Only query rules can be modified.
