Remotely run WMIClass command against multiple computerts

Question

Hi,

I am using this command to force sccm updates on remote computers: ([wmiclass]'ROOT\ccm\ClientSDK:CCM_SoftwareUpdatesManager').InstallUpdates([System.Management.ManagementObject[]] (get-wmiobject -query 'SELECT * FROM CCM_SoftwareUpdate' -namespace 'ROOT\ccm\ClientSDK'))

Currently I enter-pssession, run the command and exit the session and start a new session. This is a pretty hassle.
How do I remotely run the command to a list of servers?

Thanks!

Answer 1

The "looping" version of that with computer name strings would look something like this:

foreach ( $computerName in $computerNames ) {
  ([WMIClass] "\\$computerName\root\CCM\ClientSDK:CCM_SoftwareUpdatesManager").InstallUpdates([Management.ManagementObject[]])
  Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $computerName -Query "SELECT * FROM CCM_SoftwareUpdate" -Namespace "root\ccm\ClientSDK"
}

This presumes that the variable $computerNames has a list of computer names, one per line, and that the host-based firewall on each machine you want to connect to will allow the connection.
