-Computers <computer> ... |
Yes |
One or more computer names or hostnames to add, separated by spaces. |

Adds computers even if DNS resolution fails. Without this flag, any computer that cannot be resolved in DNS will cause the command to fail. |
-IgnoreDuplicates |
No |
Skips computers that already exist in PDQ Inventory rather than returning an error. |
Add a single computer:
PDQInventory AddComputers -Computers WORKSTATION01
Add multiple computers at once:
PDQInventory AddComputers -Computers WORKSTATION01 WORKSTATION02 SERVER01
Add computers, skipping any that already exist or cannot be resolved in DNS:

NOTE: Each successfully added computer is immediately queued for a scan using the default scan profile.
