Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

Kindly follow the steps provided below to resolve your issue.

Configuration Manager uses the administration service REST API in several native scenarios. You can also use the administration service for your own custom scenarios.

Note

The examples in this article all use the FQDN of the server that hosts the SMS Provider role. If you access the administration service remotely through a CMG, use the CMG endpoint instead of the SMS Provider FQDN. For more information, see Enable internet access

Hi Team,

I'm stuck on below mentioned API, I have created CollectionRule using SMS_CollectionRule Class but after creating we need to add to collection for membership.

https://<ServerName>/AdminService/wmi/SMS_Collection.AddMembershipRule

SInt32 AddMembershipRule(
SMS_CollectionRule collectionRule,
UInt32 QueryID
);

Let me know how to pass CollectionRule object to this API. Please provide some example.
Thanks in advance
