Description
Use this cmdlet to import a task sequence into Configuration Manager. You can use the Export-CMTaskSequence cmdlet to export a task sequence to a .zip file.
Important
This cmdlet doesn't support PowerShell 7. It requires the .NET Framework instead of .NET Core that's used with PowerShell version 7.
Starting in version 2103, if you try to use this cmdlet in a PowerShell version 7 session, it fails with the following error: This cmdlet only supports the ".NET Framework" runtime.
Note
Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
Examples
Example 1: Import a task sequence

Parameters
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
