Forcing Agent check-in?

I'm trying to get force a remote agent check-in from a Workflow.

Or, restart the remote client service (worse case).

I've found a couple components that hint at the functionality but I'm not having any luck.

Anybody have any success with this?

P.S. We don't pass multi-casts so the "execute power management command" component doesn't work for us.

Thanks and happy holidays!

ASDK method can be used

From within the ASDK there is a method called ComputerPowerManagement. It is part of the ResourceManagementLib. All the ASDK methods can be called from within workflow. This method forces the NS server to prompt a get config on the client specified. See if that helps you.

Links to previous articles for getconfig

I forgot to link the previous articles on the power management functions. (Including Getconfig)
