Kick off a managed software policy

[WSH_vly01]

Is there a way in cmd or powershell to kick off a software managed policy? I have a policy that will install software, but because of a condition it won't install. I would like to run an action via a task/job to terminate the program then kick off the policy through cmd or powershell. Is that possible? Thanks.

Hi wsh_vly01 Take a look at this Forum post: https://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/trigger-install-client-script#comment-11433381 Network23

I used this script to get all the com objects related to Altiris:

Get-ChildItem HKLM:\Software\Classes -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Where-Object {
   $_.PSChildName -match '^\w+\.\w+$' -and (Test-Path -Path "$($_.PSPath)\CLSID") -and $_.PSChildName -like "Altiris*"
} | Select-Object -ExpandProperty PSChildName

Then to use one of them, I used:

$AltirisComObject=New-Object -ComObject <Name of Com Object>
