Perform a pulll from a workstation to PDQ Deploy

Hi there,

I created a package that has all the needed software to be installed on new computer setup from our Help Desk. Ideally, I would like to have the HD tech be able to perform a pull from the workstation for that package and install the software. Now obviously I know I can perform a one-time deploy from PDQ to the works station, but I would like to know if the opposite is possible?

Does this fit what you are looking for ? https://www.pdq.com/blog/initiating-deployments-using-powershell-2/
```
Invoke-Command -ComputerName "PDQSERVERHERE" -ScriptBlock {

    pdqdeploy Deploy -Package "Example Package" -Targets "targetname or IP"

}
```
So the remote client just jumps into PDQ and executes the deploy through CLI. You could probably just do $hostnamepass = hostname and pass that in for the target, I just don't remember how to pass the variable to a remote session.
