Send Schedule Tool

Applies to: Configuration Manager (current branch)

The Send Schedule Tool is one of the Configuration Manager tools. Use it to trigger a schedule on a client or trigger the evaluation of a specified configuration baseline. It works for the local computer or targeting a remote client.

For example, use the tool to trigger an inventory schedule or compliance evaluation. If a number of Configuration Manager clients haven't recently reported inventory or compliance status, run the tool to initiate the necessary schedule on each client.

Usage

Run SendSchedule.exe as an administrator.

SendSchedule /L [Computer Name] SendSchedule "<Message GUID | DCM UID>" [Computer Name]

After you trigger a message (GUID), see SMSClientMethodProvider.log. For more information about available message GUIDs, see Message IDs.

After you trigger the evaluation of a configuration baseline (DCM UID), see DCMAgent.log.

Command-line options

Option: /L

List all Message GUID or DCM UID available for sending. Display the meaningful name of messages in the data table for each one. If the computer name is absent, it uses the local computer. If you specify a message without a machine name, then it sends the message to the local machine.

Examples

List the available messages on the local machine

SendSchedule /L

List the available messages on the client MyPC:

SendSchedule /L MyPC

Trigger hardware inventory on the local machine

SendSchedule {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001}

Trigger hardware inventory on MyPC:

SendSchedule {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001} MyPC

Trigger the evaluation of a specific configuration baseline on MyPC:
