Note
Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
Examples
Example 1
PS XYZ:\> $newTS = Copy-CMTaskSequence -Name "TaskSequence01"
This command makes a copy of the task sequence with the name TaskSequence01.
Parameters
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
