Description
The Enable-CMSoftwareUpdateAutoDeploymentRule cmdlet enables specified Configuration Manager deployment rules for automatic software updates. While a rule is disabled, it does not run in accordance with its schedule and you cannot run it manually.
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 enable by ID or by name, or specify a rule object by using the Get-CMSoftwareUpdateAutoDeploymentRule cmdlet. You can use the Disable-CMSoftwareUpdateAutoDeploymentRule cmdlet to disable a rule. To remove a rule permanently, use the Remove-CMSoftwareUpdateAutoDeploymentRule cmdlet.
Note
Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
Examples
Example 1: Enable a deployment rule by name
PS XYZ:\>Enable-CMSoftwareUpdateAutoDeploymentRule -Name "Weekly Driver Updates"
This command enables a rule named Weekly Driver Updates.
Example 2: Enable a deployment rule by ID
PS XYZ:\>Enable-CMSoftwareUpdateAutoDeploymentRule -Id "16777217"
This command enables a deployment rule that has the ID 16777217.
Example 3: Enable a deployment rule by using a variable
PS XYZ:\> $CMSUADR = Get-CMSoftwareUpdateAutoDeploymentRule -Name "Weekly Driver Updates"
PS XYZ:\> Enable-CMSoftwareUpdateAutoDeploymentRule -InputObject $CMSUADR
The first command gets a deployment rule that has the specified name, and then stores it in the $CMSUADR variable.
The second command enables the rule stored in the variable.
