    List of Useful SCCM Client Actions

    January 21, 2025441 Views

    This post lists all the SCCM client actions (also known as action cycles). You can manually initiate these client actions from Configuration Manager Properties when you need to troubleshoot issues.

    After installing the SCCM client on a computer, you’ll find the following SCCM client actions in the Actions tab of ConfigMgr Properties. There are 10 SCCM client actions defined by Microsoft for every client.

    To access the client actions on your Windows computer, right-click Start and select Run. Enter the command “control smscfgrc” and click OK. On the Configuration Manager properties window, switch to Actions tab. The Actions tab lists all the SCCM action cycles.

    Each action cycle has a specific purpose and can be initiated manually on the client computer. To run a action cycle, all you need to do is select an action cycle and click Run Now. There are other ways to trigger the action cycles which include PowerShell, VB Script and command line.

    In some cases, you may find only two action cycles listed in the ConfigMgr properties. This occurs when the ConfigMgr agent is not installed completely. A client installation may be interuppted due to many reasons and you should start troubleshooting this issue by reviewing the SCCM log files on client computer.
