Is there a powershell module that I can uses on client system where I have the agents installed?

I pushed the patches from SCCM Console to client with deployment status as "available" and need to run the install command from the machine where I have sccm agent installed. how can i do that?

Answer 1

Yes, you can automate using the ClientSDK WMI classes and powershell. There is a good writeup about it here

Answer 2

It is better to just run a "Required" deployment on collection with the specific clients to want. See the docs

You may create that collection with query "where Client0 is 1" or doing fine-grain selection with direct membership. Here's how .

This way the SCCM Agent will be controlling the installation the whole way, and allow to:

• Handle temporarily offline clients
• Active users on the device
• Scheduling and windowing

and more...
