Monitor ccmsetup.exe installation status usng powershell

Question

This question is realted to SCCM Client installer ccmsetup.exe. When we run manually ccmsetup.exe; it starts the installation process and exit from command prompt. I cannot monitor the installation process from commandline. It starts recording installation status in ccmsetup.log file. However time to execute completely varies per system.

How can I monitor ccmsetup.exe installation status using powershell.

I am using command as below: Invoke-Command { C:\\Client\\ccmsetup.exe /Source:"C:\\Client" SMSSITECODE=PPR FSP=Server1.ADDOMAIN.COM}

Thanks & regards, Kedar

Answer 1

Give a shot to the start-process cmdlet :

start-process C:\Client\ccmsetup.exe -ArgumentList @( '/Source:"C:\Client"' , "SMSSITECODE=PPR" ,  "FSP=Server1.ADDOMAIN.COM" -wait

And tell me it works, because it works for me :)

NB : the use a simple quotes allows double-quotes to be passed to the process launched.
