Property Collector Retrieve Properties Ex
Retrieves the specified properties of the specified managed objects.
This method is similar to creating the filters, receiving the property values, and destroying the filters. The main difference is that the output blends the results from all the filters and reports a given managed object at most once no matter how many filters apply.
The filter creation step can throw all of the same faults as CreateFilter.
Required privileges: System.Anonymous
The unique identifier for the managed object to which the method attaches; the serialized managed object reference for a request has the form moType/moId, in this case PropertyCollector/{moId}.

}A token used to retrieve further retrieve results.
If set, the token should be passed to PropertyCollector.ContinueRetrievePropertiesEx to retrieve more results. Each token may be passed to continueRetrievePropertiesEx only once, and only in the same session in which it was returned and to the same PropertyCollector object that returned it.
If unset, there are no further results to retrieve after this RetrieveResult.
