Allen, Much thanks for your support.

One more question, we have requirement to disable the sync settings to run before SUSDB clean-up through SQL maintenance plan and we need to enable the sync schedule back with custom internal after the SQL maintenance plan executed.

Would you please guide me that how to execute the sync powershell cmdlets in Windows Task scheduler?

Is there any powershell script or Task scheduler steps require to configure this, because It was failing when we tried to run the SCCM powershell cmdlets by putting it into notepad and converted into ps1 file that directly configured into task scheduler.

Share your view on this please.

Hi, @Dinesh Vinay
Thank you for your feedback, to enable the schedule and set to every 6 hours, please try this:
$CusSch = New-CMSchedule -RecurInterval Hours -RecurCount 6
Set-CMSoftwareUpdatePointComponent -Schedule $CusSch

Allen, Much appreciate for your support. That Powershell cmd is working like charm.

Just I need one more Powershell requirement.

I want to enable the Enable synchronization schedule checkbox again with custom schedule to recur every 6 hours.

Hi, @Dinesh Vinay
Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.
I test in my lab, the parameter 'EnableSynchronization' has been deprecated and may be removed in a future release. The parameter 'Schedule' may be used as a replacement.

So, the below cmdlet works:

Set-CMSoftwareUpdatePointComponent -Schedule $null
