[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Invoke-CMSoftwareUpdateAutoDeploymentRule cmdlet runs a Configuration Manager deployment rule for automatic software updates immediately instead of according to its schedule.
Configuration Manager uses rules to manage automatic deployment of software updates. When a rule runs, Configuration Manager adds updates that qualify for the rule to a software update group. The Configuration Manager server downloads content files and copies them to distribution points, and then updates client computers.
You can specify rules to run by ID or by name, or specify a rule object by using the Get-CMSoftwareUpdateAutoDeploymentRule cmdlet. You cannot run a disabled rule. You can use the Enable-CMSoftwareUpdateAutoDeploymentRule cmdlet to enable a rule and then run it.
Note
Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
Examples
Example 1: Invoke a deployment rule
PS XYZ:\>Invoke-CMSoftwareUpdateAutoDeploymentRule -Name "Weekly Security Updates"This command runs a rule called Weekly Security Updates.
