Force Policy Update script for usage with DS

The following VB Script can be used with an existing AClient to force the Altiris NS Agent to wake up and check for any new configuration / policy updates. This is not an issue with NS 6 since it can now do that, but for everyone with 5.5, this is still valuable.

 

 'vbscript

Option Explicit

 

' Declare variables

Dim Client

 

' Create the NS Client object

Set Client = CreateObject("Altiris.AeXNSClient")

 

' Ask the client's policy manager to refresh the configuration

Client.ClientPolicyMgr.Refresh

 

' Clean up

Set Client = Nothing
