<p>So I'm trying to automate some tasks with SMS, and I've run into a roadblock when creating new collection membership rules. The code below is a method of a Collection object. It's a rough draft, so don't worry too much about the top half unless you think it might be screwing something up. My problem is that I go to create a new SMS_CollectionRuleDirect object (at the bottom of the code provided) and I get the following error:</p>
</div>
<div>
<p> </p></div>
<div>
<p><span>>>> coll.AddMembershipRule(rule)<br>Traceback (most recent call last):<br> File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?<br> File "H:\p4rootw\lib\ops\sms.py", line 495, in AddMembershipRule<br>
rule_obj.RuleName = name<br> File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 550, in __setattr__<br> raise AttributeError, "Property '%s.%s' can not be set." % (self._username_, attr)</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p> </p></div>
<div>
<p>If you look in the SMS 2003 SDK v3.1 or here (<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sms/sms2003/opsguide/ops_854m.mspx?mfr=true" target="_blank">http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sms/sms2003/opsguide/ops_854m.mspx?mfr=true</a>) you can see that the property is indeed Read/Write. Is there any way to override this or some workaround that I can use to fix this? I'm about ready to start hopping up and down in my office chair like an angry chimpanzee.</p>
