Is there a way to import a list of computer names from a text file to a static collection?

There is not currently a native way to import a list of computers into a static collection, however there is a work-around by formatting the XML of a collection that you could import. - http://support.adminarsenal.com/entries/22260138

This is a feature request that we are considering.

I attempted the XML method, but importing it just gives me an empty collection. The only thing I can think of that would be preventing this from working is discrepancies in capitalization of computer names between the file and PDQ Inventory. Would that be an issue?

I found the issue. It turns out I had mistyped the domain suffix in the command. After fixing it, it works like a charm. Thanks!
