The conversion was quite easy:

If @error Then
    ConsoleWrite("Couldn't create control panel application manager")
    Exit
EndIf

; 'Get a collection of actions.
$oClientActions = $oCPAppletMgr.GetClientActions

; 'Display each client action name and perform it.
For $oClientAction In $oClientActions

    If $oClientAction.Name = "Request & Evaluate Machine Policy" Then
        ConsoleWrite("Performing action " & $oClientAction.Name)
        $oClientAction.PerformAction
    EndIf
    If $oClientAction.Name = "Software Metering Usage Report Cycle" Then

Next

I have a issue with this. When I run it I get an error while trying to create the control panel for application manager.

Can someone help me with why.

; 'Get the Control Panel manager object.
Local $oCPAppletMgr = ObjCreate("CPApplet.CPAppletMgr")
If @error Then
    ConsoleWrite("Couldn't create control panel application manager")
    Exit
EndIf

 

Yours sincerely

Kenneth.

@Valnurat it works fine for me if I run as 64bit,  which you may need to do depending on the version of Config Mgr. you're running.

 

#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64 = Y

; 'Get the Control Panel manager object.
Local $oCPAppletMgr = ObjCreate("CPApplet.CPAppletMgr")
If @error Then
    ConsoleWrite(@error & " Couldn't create control panel application manager" & @CRLF)
    Exit
Else
    If IsObj($oCPAppletMgr) Then ConsoleWrite("Object created" & @CRLF)
EndIf
