Powershell command to run summarization on a single SUG (Software update group)

Question

Hi All,
I am trying to automate a process,where I need to run summarization on a single SUG, which is specifically created for reporting purpose(hence, this SUG is not deployed).

But I am not able to find any powershell command to run summarization on a specific SUG. Please help.

Thanks,
Shesh

Answer 1

I was able to achieve this using runauthliststatussummarization method of class sms_authorizationlist.

Code sample is as follows..
$sccmserver = “SMSServerName”
$ci_id = (get-cmsoftwareupdategroup -name ‘Sugname’).CI_ID
$smsauthclass = Get-wmiObject -ComputerName $sccmserver -Namespace root/sms/site_xxx -class SMS_authorizationlist -list
$smsauthclass.RunAuthListStatusSummarization($ci_id)

Answer 2

Invoke-CMSoftwareUpdateSummarization is the closest PowerShell cmdlet that I can find but it isn't specific to a single update group: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/configurationmanager/invoke-cmsoftwareupdatesummarization?view=sccm-ps

You can directly invoke a summarization for an update group using WMI though https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/develop/reference/sum/runauthliststatussummarization-method-in-class-sms_authorizationlist.
