How to install cadsmcmd

[ishak Harichane]

Am a new user of CA IT client manager, i have acces only by using DSM Explorer which is a GUI, i wanted a way to use command line so i can check packages installed in given target. 

What i can see is that i have already acces to use CAF command line, b checking the references online i saw that what am looking for may be possible using  cadsmcmd. 

So please help me how to do that

cadsmcmd should already be available if you installed DSM Explorer. Did you install all the plugins (RC/AM/SD) ?

[ishak Harichane]

Hey Cristi, 

Yes cadsmcmd is installed on my machine i think all what i need now is the command to check the packages installed on a given machine.

You can use the "cadsmcmd" command line tool to list installed packages on a target in CA IT Client Manager. Run the command:

cadsmcmd getpkglist -t <target_name> -s <server_name>

Replace <target_name> with the target machine's name and <server_name> with the server's name.
