Description

Use this cmdlet to run a PowerShell script in Configuration Manager. These scripts are integrated and managed in Configuration Manager.

You can't run a script until it's approved. To approve scripts programmatically, use the Approve-CMScript cmdlet.

For more information, see Create and run PowerShell scripts from the Configuration Manager console.

Note

Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.

Examples

Example 1: Run a script by using its ID

This command runs the script with ID DF8E7546-FD66-4A3D-A129-53AF5AA54F80.

Invoke-CMScript -ScriptGuid "DF8E7546-FD66-4A3D-A129-53AF5AA54F80"

Example 2: Run a script by using an object variable

The first command gets a script object by its ID, and stores it in the $ScriptObj variable. The second command runs the script stored in that variable.

$ScriptObj = Get-CMScript -Id "DF8E7546-FD66-4A3D-A129-53AF5AA54F80"

Invoke-CMScript -InputObject $ScriptObj

Example 3: Pass parameters to the target script

The first line stores parameters in a hashtable. The second line runs the script on the target device, passing the parameters in the hashtable.

$parameters = @{
  "FolderName"="c:\test\test1"
  "FileName"="test2"
}

Invoke-CMScript -ScriptGuid $scriptGuid -Device (Get-CMDevice -Name $targetPCName) -ScriptParameter $parameters
