Invoke-WMIMethod convert to Invoke-CimMethod with ciminstance as Argument error

0

So, trying to trigger a software update in SCCM with Invoke-CimMethod instead of Invoke-WMIMethod.

WMIMethod Works:

$UpdateID = 'Site_1EED8E47-D4D8-4823-883C-4FFE753FA233/SUM_0af47e05-17cb-4756-8610-09ce486df1ba'
$FeatureUpdate = Get-WmiObject -Namespace Root\CCM\ClientSDK -Class CCM_SoftwareUpdate -Filter "UpdateID like '$UpdateID'"
Invoke-WmiMethod -Namespace Root\ccm\clientSDK -Class CCM_SoftwareUpdatesManager -Name InstallUpdates -ArgumentList $FeatureUpdate

Note that $FeatureUpdate is a instance of an update:

$FeatureUpdate.GetType()

IsPublic IsSerial Name                                     BaseType
-------- -------- ----                                     --------
True     True     ManagementObject                         System.Management.ManagementBaseObject

Now with Invoke-CimMethod:

$Instance=Get-CimInstance -Namespace Root\CCM\ClientSDK -Class CCM_SoftwareUpdate -Filter "UpdateID like '$UpdateID'"
Invoke-CimMethod -Namespace Root\ccm\clientSDK -Class CCM_SoftwareUpdatesManager -MethodeName InstallUpdates -Arguments @{CCMUpdates = $Instance}

Invoke-CimMethod : Type mismatch for parameter "CCMUpdates"

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : HRESULT 0x80041005,Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimCmdlets.InvokeCimMethodCommand

Note the Instance:

$instance.GetType()

IsPublic IsSerial Name                                     BaseType
-------- -------- ----                                     --------
True     True     CimInstance                              System.Object

Am I missing something on triggering the install with the arguments? Not sure if this helps..

Figured it out after letting it sit for the day. Found some posts to lead me in the right direction.

Final final:

$UpdateID = 'Site_1EED8E47-D4D8-4823-883C-4FFE753FA233/SUM_0af47e05-17cb-4756-8610-09ce486df1ba'
$Instance = @(Get-CimInstance -Namespace ROOT\ccm\ClientSDK -ClassName CCM_SoftwareUpdate -Filter "UpdateID like '$UpdateID'")
Invoke-CimMethod -Namespace ROOT\ccm\ClientSDK -ClassName CCM_SoftwareUpdatesManager -MethodName InstallUpdates -Arguments @{CCMUpdates = [ciminstance[]]$Instance}

Returns, and updates install:
