With Service Pack 1 you now have the option to use PowerShell against Configuration Manager. It comes with almost 500 cmdlets, which you can use.
And I planned that this post would be a live post where I am going to post all of my PowerShell one-liners for various tasks within Configuration Manager.
Now first of we need to import the module in order to get access to the cmdlets.
Import-module C:Program files (x86)Microsoft Configuration ManagerAdminConsoleBinConfigurationManager.psd1
after that we need to change context to the site name. In my case the site is called TST therefore I type
cd c:TST
NOTE: If you get any error messages here change to x86 PowerShell J
After you have done this you should look something like this.
Now a couple of commands first.
(Note that you can show all the cmdlets available either in PowerShell ISE or run the command
get-command –module ConfigurationManager
Install client on a device name.
Install-cmclient -AlwaysInstallClient $true -Devicename configmgr -IncludeDomainController $false -sitecode TST
You can also specify it by deviceID.
Install-CMClient -AlwaysInstallClient $True -DeviceId 16777220 -IncludeDomainController $False -SiteCode TST
If you want to fetch the deviceID or get more information regarding the device.
Get-CMDevice -Name configmgr
Get information regarding a device collection
get-cmdevicecollection -Name “all systems”
If you want to export out the XML definition of a baseline
Get-CMBaselineXMLDefinition -name laptop | out-file C:testkonge2.xml
Wish to export an application
Export-CMApplication -name intune -path e:export.zip
If you wish to import an application
Import-CMApplication –path e:export.zip
Create a new client policy
New-CMClientSetting -name konge
And if you wish to add settings to that new policy
Set-CMClientSetting -Name konge -EnableEndpointProtection $True
Add a software metering rule
New-CMSoftwareMeteringRule -productname “Notepad” -path c:windowssystem32notepad.exe -SiteCode TST
Get software requests
get-cmapprovalrequest
There are a lot more to come, with this cmdlets it makes it a lot easier to automate deployment.
