[sccm 2012] Script and Command Execution

[drbill28]

Hello,

 

Nice to find this forum. We are looking to possibly switch to SCCM from Altiris DS 6.9. We only mostly use the imaging and software deployment features of Altiris. So SCCM will cover us for most of this. But I have run into a few questions that some will certainly ask of me.

 

In Altiris I can can have a job that has a "Run script" task and I can send just point it to a client and execute it. Same with "File copy" commands to put files on a client. What I have seen is everything is solely deployment based. So first off I can't see a way to run a task sequence on a single client that may need something without putting it in a collection and deploying the task sequence to it. Also I don't see a way to directly execute commands or send VB scripts to a client. In our environment that could quickly clutter the SCCM console with tons of task sequences to just do a simple command execution. Is there another way to do that?

 

Thanks,

Bill
