SOLVED clear ccm cache ps script

[erikdeklerck]

Hello everyone :

when executing this script on a local machine it clears the ccm cache :
## Initialize the CCM resource manager com object
[__comobject]$CCMComObject = New-Object -ComObject 'UIResource.UIResourceMgr'## Get the CacheElementIDs to delete
$CacheInfo = $CCMComObject.GetCacheInfo().GetCacheElements()## Remove cache items
ForEach ($CacheItem in $CacheInfo) {
$null = $CCMComObject.GetCacheInfo().DeleteCacheElement([string]$($CacheItem.CacheElementID))
}

but not when deploying by sccm, any suggestions or other scripts ?

How exactly are you running it with SCCM?

If you run that script manually on a test machine, does it clear the ccmcache folder ?. If yes, create a package and run that script.
Going forward you can also try this - https://www.prajwaldesai.com/clear-application-content-from-sccm-client-cache/

Based on this articel we are looking for a automated script to clear the ccm cache

when creating a package and deploying to a single device nothing is cleared.

Thx...this is good solution for post install but we need a pre-install task to make sure the cache is cleared for deploy of applications

Yes that link applies if you are deploying a TS and clear out the cache after installing apps.

We created a package

We created a package

We need more details. Are you running from the DP or cache folder?

Running from DP

 

[Garth]

Running from DP

ok. we still need more, what EXACTLY does the execmgr.log say?

 

[erikdeklerck]

Clean-CMClientCache.log : error 0x87D01203
Ccmexec is in use while the script tries to clear the cache.
So we could start a script form the client directly that starts another script that clears the cache and performs an exit ?

Where are you seeing this error? this doesn't look like it is coming from execmgr.log. Also this error says that something is running from the cache on no from the DP, like you said above.

My mistake Garth indeed its running from the cache.

I have over 250 GB of manual cache and I do not know what it contains, should I delete it, it takes up 25% of my SSD?

What problem are you trying to solve?

Hello,

I as well am tying to find a script for powershell that clears the ccmcache but no luck. Can anyone be of assistance?

I use this PS to clean the ccmcache when needed:

## Initialize the CCM resource manager com object [__comobject]$CCMComObject = New-Object -ComObject 'UIResource.UIResourceMgr' ## Get the CacheElementIDs to delete $CacheInfo = $CCMComObject.GetCacheInfo().GetCacheElements() ## Remove cache items ForEach ($CacheItem in $CacheInfo) { $null = $CCMComObject.GetCacheInfo().DeleteCacheElement([string]$($CacheItem.CacheElementID)) }

I run it as a script from the console when needed.

 

[m0rph]

$UIResourceMgr = New-Object -ComObject UIResource.UIResourceMgr
$Cache = $UIResourceMgr.GetCacheInfo()
$Cache.GetCacheElements() |
foreach {
$Cache.DeleteCacheElement($_.CacheElementID)
}

 

[Garth]

$UIResourceMgr = New-Object -ComObject UIResource.UIResourceMgr
$Cache = $UIResourceMgr.GetCacheInfo()
$Cache.GetCacheElements() |
foreach {
$Cache.DeleteCacheElement($_.CacheElementID)
}

What is your question?

 

[m0rph]

No question, this is how I clear the CCMCACHE...
