SPML to create computer object

I am trying to create computer objects via SPML. I have the following XML file and I post it using PowerShell invoke-webrequest cmdlet. It doesn't work - the computer object doesn't get created but I don't get any error either. Using the same method to create a user works fine.

Here is my XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
    <addRequest xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:SPML:2:0" returnData="everything">
      <data>
        <attr name="edsvaParentDN" xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:DSML:2:0:core">
          <value>"ou=computers,OU=MyOU,DC=blahblah,DC=blahblah"</value>
        </attr>
        <attr name="cn" xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:DSML:2:0:core">
          <value>MyTestPC</value>
        </attr>
        <attr name="objectClass" xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:DSML:2:0:core">
          <value>computer</value>
        </attr>
      </data>
    </addRequest>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

This is what I get back:

StatusCode        : 200
StatusDescription : OK
Content           : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope
                    xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"

InputFields       : {}
Links             : {}
ParsedHtml        : System.__ComObject
RawContentLength : 515

Am I missing something in the XML?

Thanks in advance.

Something like this should work as long as your SPML Config is set up for these attributes.

#$cred = get-credential
$body = @"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi="www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema" xmlns:soap12="www.w3.org/.../soap-envelope">
<soap12:Body>
<addRequest xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:SPML:2:0" returnData="everything">
<psoID ID="CN=SPMLComputer4,OU=SPML,OU=TESTOU,DC=acme,DC=corp"/>
<data>
<attr name="objectClass" xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:DSML:2:0:core">
<value>computer</value>
</attr>
<attr name="samAccountName" xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:DSML:2:0:core">
<value>SPMLComputer4$</value>
</attr>
<attr name="description" xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:DSML:2:0:core">
<value>My test computer</value>
</attr>
</data>
</addRequest>
</soap12:Body>
</soap12:Envelope>
"@

$webRequest = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri 'VM-WS2008R2-1/.../SPMLProvider.asmx' -Credential $cred -Body $body -Method Post -ContentType 'application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8'

Try something like this.

#$cred = get-credential
$body = @"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap12="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
  <soap12:Body>
     <addRequest xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:SPML:2:0" returnData="everything">
      <psoID ID="CN=SPMLComputer4,OU=SPML,OU=TESTOU,DC=acme,DC=corp"/>
      <data>
        <attr name="objectClass" xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:DSML:2:0:core">

"@
