Hello Team,

I am running below session relevance code to gather the computer ID with the use of computer host name and i am able to get Computer ID.

https://abc.com:52311/api/query?relevance=(id of it) of bes computers whose (name of it as lowercase starts with  "UXXXXXDXT001" as lowercase ) 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<BESAPI xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="BESAPI.xsd">
<Query Resource="(id of it) of bes computers whose (name of it as lowercase starts with  &quot;UXXXXXDXT001&quot; as lowercase )">
<Result>
<Answer type="integer">1763902</Answer>
</Result>
<Evaluation>
<Time>0.676ms</Time>
<Plurality>Plural</Plurality>
</Evaluation>
</Query>
</BESAPI>

But if i try with another host name which is also on-boarded to BigFix console i am not getting any Computer ID.

<Query Resource="(id of it) of bes computers whose (name of it as lowercase starts with  &quot;nlleixxxast001&quot; as lowercase)">
<Result></Result>
<Evaluation>
<Time>0.676ms</Time>
<Plurality>Plural</Plurality>
</Evaluation>
</Query>
</BESAPI>

Does the user account making the API call have access to the computer in the console?

Did you double check how the name appears in the console?
