Greetings Thwack!
On the github page there is a sample script that serves as an example for adding groups to Orion: OrionSDK/Groups.ps1 at master · solarwinds/OrionSDK · GitHub
When I try running that script as a test (with only editing the connection details) I get the following error:
Invoke-SwisVerb : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
At D:\OrionScripts\Dependencies.ps1:35 char:13
+ $groupId = (Invoke-SwisVerb $swis "Orion.Container" "CreateContainer" @(

Peculiar! Another thread on thwack Need help trying to add a node to a group container using Perl recommended looking into the Information Services logs. I've attached the latest output from that log to this question. Sadly my own Orion-Fu isn't quite enough to decipher the XML to see what went wrong, or if I need go deeper.
Currently running NPM 12.01. The script runs a-okay on a testing instance of Orion, but not in our prod environment.
