Access denied when executing Invoke-CimMethod and Invoke-WMIMethod to run SCCM Client Actions

Willem-Jan Vroom 101

Hello all,

I have created a script to run the SCCM Client Actions. I receive an 'access denied' when running as a standard user (non admin rights):

Script:

Clear-Host
$SCCMID = "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001}"
$params = @{
                            'Namespace'    = 'root\CCM'
                            'ClassName'    = 'SMS_Client'
                            'MethodName'   = 'TriggerSchedule'
                            'Arguments'    = @{ sScheduleID = $SCCMID }
                            }
Invoke-CimMethod @params 


Invoke-WMIMethod -Namespace root\ccm -Class SMS_CLIENT -Name TriggerSchedule $SCCMID

The output:

Invoke-CimMethod : Access denied
At line:9 char:1

Invoke-CimMethod @params
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CategoryInfo : PermissionDenied: (root\CCM:SMS_Client:String) [Invoke-CimMethod], CimException

Invoke-WMIMethod : Access denied

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [Invoke-WmiMethod], ManagementException

My question is: is there a way to run these commands as a regular - non admin - user? Feedback is appreciated.

With kind regards,

A new piece of code solved this issue:

$CPApplet = New-Object -Comobject CPApplet.CPAppletMgr
$Actions  = $CPApplet.GetClientActions()
ForEach ($Action in $Actions)
 {
  $Action.PerformAction()
 }

Thanks!

Hi,

We think these commands cannot be run as a regular user. But you can post the issue in some third-party forums, users there may have a solution.

Here are some of them
