Description

The Start-CMAntimalwarePolicyDeployment cmdlet starts the deployment of a Microsoft System Center 2016 Endpoint Protection antimalware policy to the members of a Configuration Manager collection.

To start a policy deployment, specify the antimalware policy to be deployed and the device collection that is the destination for the deployment. Specify a policy by name or by ID, or use the Get-CMAntiMalwarePolicy cmdlet to get a policy object. Specify a collection by name or by ID, or use the Get-CMDeviceCollection cmdlet to get a collection object. You can also specify a deployment name to deploy a policy.

Important

Starting in version 2107, this cmdlet is deprecated and may be removed in a future release. Instead use the New-CMAntimalwarePolicyDeployment cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1: Deploy an antimalware policy to a collection by using an ID

PS XYZ:\> Start-CMAntimalwarePolicyDeployment -AntimalwarePolicyName "ExclusionsPolicy" -CollectionId "SMS00023"

This command starts the deployment for a policy named ExclusionsPolicy to a device collection that has the ID SMS00023.

Example 2: Deploy an antimalware policy to a named collection

PS XYZ:\> Start-CMAntimalwarePolicyDeployment -AntimalwarePolicyName "ExclusionsPolicy" -CollectionName "SouthOffice"

This command starts the deployment for a policy named ExclusionsPolicy to a device collection named SouthOffice.
