Currently im looking into creating an application to harvest device information using the MECM API. Since I constantly have to research where the MECM Admin service has its hooks, i thought it would be a good idea to add some general information here.

The Basics

The AdminService is a REST API that runs as a service, independent of the other web components in IIS on your site servers.

Service

You can check the status of the service in the console under \Monitoring\Overview\System Status\Component Status - SMS_REST_PROVIDER

Read-Only Query Basics

Note: All queries in this section use a HTTP GET method. Also, everything is CASE SenSiTiVe.

• Get all Devices https://<ServerName>/AdminService/wmi/SMS_R_System
• Get All Users https://<ServerName>/AdminService/wmi/SMS_R_User
• Get Device By ResourceID (same syntax for users) https://<ServerName>/AdminService/wmi/SMS_R_System(12345678)
• Get User By ResourceID https://<ServerName>/AdminService/wmi/SMS_R_User(12345678)
• Retrieve related class information. This example gets Operating System information for a specific device. https://<ServerName>/AdminService/wmi/SMS_R_System(12345678)/SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM
