In Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, you run a Configuration Manager 2007 client action by calling the PerformAction method on the actions retrieved by CPAppletMgr object GetClientActions method.

To run a Configuration Manager client action

Get the Configuration Manager client Control Panel manager object (CPAppletMgr).
From CPAppletMgr, call GetClientActions to retrieve a collection of Configuration Manager client actions.
Loop through the collection and call PerformAction for each action you want to perform.

Example

The following example method gets the Configuration Manager client actions and performs each one by calling PerformAction.

For information about calling the sample code, see How to Call Configuration Manager COM Automation Objects.

Sub PerformAction

On Error Resume Next

    Dim oCPAppletMgr ' Control Applet manager object
    Dim oClientAction ' Individual client action
    Dim oClientActions ' A collection of client actions

    ' Get the Control Panel applet manager object.
    Set  oCPAppletMgr=CreateObject("CPApplet.CPAppletMgr")
    If err.number <> 0 Then
        Wscript.echo "Couldn't create control panel application manager"
        Exit Sub
    End If

    ' Get a collection of actions.
    Set oClientActions=oCPAppletMgr.GetClientActions
    If err.number<>0 Then
        wscript.echo "Couldn't get the client actions"
        Set oCPAppletMgr=Nothing
        Exit Sub
    End If

    ' Display each client action name and perform it.
    For Each oClientAction In oClientActions
        wscript.echo oClientAction.name
        oClientAction.PerformAction
        wscript.echo
    Next

    Set oClientActions=Nothing
    Set oCPAppletMgr=Nothing

End Sub

public void PerformAction()
{
    try
    {

        CPAppletMgr cpAppletMgr = new CPAppletMgr();

        ClientActions clientActions = cpAppletMgr.GetClientActions();

        foreach (ClientAction action in clientActions)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Name: " + action.Name);
            action.PerformAction();
            Console.WriteLine();
        }
    }
    catch (COMException e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Error performing actions: " + e.Message);
        throw;
    }

}

The example method has no parameters:
