    joint_probe = solution.AddJointProbe()
bc = joint_probe.PropertyByName("BoundaryConditionSelection")
# Get the Joint Object Id needed
bc.InternalValue = ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByType(Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.Connections.Joint)[2].ObjectId

    A simpler solution now exists (tested in 2021R2):

    connections = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Connections
joints = connections.GetChildren(DataModelObjectCategory.Joint,True)
analysis = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Analyses[0]
for joint in joints:
    joint_probe = analysis.Solution.AddJointProbe()
    joint_probe.BoundaryConditionSelection = joint
