HostAssignProfileAndRebuild

The user must be authorized to rebuild the host. If the host is in any of the states which disallow rebuilding, such as Immutable, Rebuild, or Rebuilding, this method will fail. The host must also not be of a type which prohibits rebuilding (e.g., an EC2 host). If you do not want to change the profile a host is running, and just want to rebuild a host, you can save a few keystrokes and use the Rebuild method instead.
