Sometimes you just need a quick way to trigger SCCM Client Actions remotely and you don’t want to have to build a Collection and wait for it to update before using Right-Click tools to do it.

PowerShell Method

Invoke-WMIMethod -ComputerName <computerName> -Namespace root\ccm -Class SMS_CLIENT -Name TriggerSchedule "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001}" # Hardware Inventory Cycle

Invoke-WMIMethod -ComputerName <computerName> -Namespace root\ccm -Class SMS_CLIENT -Name TriggerSchedule "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000002}" # Software Inventory Cycle

Invoke-WMIMethod -ComputerName <computerName> -Namespace root\ccm -Class SMS_CLIENT -Name TriggerSchedule "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000003}" # Data Discovery Record (Heartbeat Discovery)

Invoke-WMIMethod -ComputerName <computerName> -Namespace root\ccm -Class SMS_CLIENT -Name TriggerSchedule "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000121}" # Application Deployment Evaluation

Invoke-WMIMethod -ComputerName <computerName> -Namespace root\ccm -Class SMS_CLIENT -Name TriggerSchedule "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000021}" # Machine Policy Assignments Request

Invoke-WMIMethod -ComputerName <computerName> -Namespace root\ccm -Class SMS_CLIENT -Name TriggerSchedule "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000022}" # Machine Policy Evaluation

WMIC Method (deprecated)

wmic /node:<computerName> /namespace:\\root\ccm path sms_client CALL TriggerSchedule "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001}" /NOINTERACTIVE

Script Example

$Computers = Get-Content -Path $PSScriptRoot\Computers.txt

ForEach ($comp in $Computers) {
    Write-Host "Triggering Hardware Inventory on $comp"
    Invoke-WMIMethod -ComputerName $comp -Namespace root\ccm -Class SMS_CLIENT -Name TriggerSchedule "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001}"  # Hardware Inventory
}
