[python-win32] "Property '%s.%s' can not be set" on read/write attribute

[Tim Johnson]

YES!!!  It works.  I was able to successfully run the following version:

###

import wmi
site = 'MV1'
wmi_server = 'mtv-sql-2'
resource = 23012
wmi_namespace = 'root\\sms\\site_%s' % site
conn = wmi.WMI(computer=wmi_server, namespace=wmi_namespace)
coll = conn.SMS_Collection(CollectionID='MV100362')[0]
rule = conn.SMS_CollectionRuleDirect.new()
rule.ResourceID = resource
rule.RuleName = 'ResourceID: ' + str(resource)
rule.ResourceClassName = 'SMS_R_System'
result = coll.AddMembershipRule(rule)

###

I still get the error on my old code, but maybe mixing
win32com.client-styleobjects with wmi objects is causing weirdness
there.  In any case, I have
what I need from here on out.  I'd say almost 100% of all WMI scripts out
there are for getting information, not setting it, but when you're dealing
with SMS it's the only way to go.

Thanks again, and someday I'll pull a thorn out of your foot or something.
:)
