SCCM & PowerShell Objectives

• Brief background on SCCM & PowerShell

• How to write a basic SCCM PowerShell script

• Overview of SCCM WMI Classes • Simplify and automate SCCM administration

using community-provided PSM’s and cmdlet’s

• Q&A

SCCM & PowerShell Background

• Microsoft doesn’t provide any official PowerShell modules for SCCM 2007

• This has driven the community to develop their own PSM’s and cmdlet’s to help automate and simplify administration

• Microsoft may be releasing a PowerShell console and module with limited base cmdlet’s for SCCM 2012

SCCM & PowerShell Basic SCCM PowerShell Script

$credental = Get-Credential #or use elevated PS console

#CM Server

$SCCMServer = "CMServer01"

#Site Code

$siteCode = "DMO"

#WMI Name Space

$WMINameSpace = "root/sms/site_$($siteCode)"

#Client

$client = "L-MACHINE01"

#WMI Query

Get-WMIObject -query "Select * from SMS_R_System Where

Name = '$client'" -Namespace $WMInameSpace -
