Machine Policy Retrieval and Evaluation Cycle — Client Action on Collection

The Machine Policy Retrieval and Evaluation Cycle initiates policy retrieval from the client outside its scheduled polling interval. The default interval is 60 minutes. Triggering immediate policy retrieval is useful in a troubleshooting scenario or when testing.

This action can be run on device collections, or using a similar tool designed for single and multi-selected devices.

To run this tool:

1. In your Configuration Manager console, right-click on a device.

2. Click Right Click Tools > Client Actions on Collection > Machine Policy Retrieval and Evaluation Cycle.

The window that opens displays progress and completion according to success.
