Syntax

Default (Default) 

New-CMSoftwareUpdateDeploymentPackage
    [-Description <String>]
    [-Fast]
    -Name <String>
    -Path <String>
    [-Priority <Priorities>]
    [-DisableWildcardHandling]
    [-ForceWildcardHandling]
    [-WhatIf]
    [-Confirm]
    [<CommonParameters>]

Description

Use this cmdlet to create a software update deployment package. A software update deployment package object contains one or more software updates. For more information, see Plan software update content.

Note

Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.

Examples

Example 1: Create a deployment package

This example first uses the built-in Get-Date cmdlet. It then creates a deployment package using the date string in the name and the path.

$date = Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-dd"

New-CMSoftwareUpdateDeploymentPackage -Name "Updates for $date" -Path "\\gold\sources\updates\$date"

Parameters

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Parameter properties

Type:SwitchParameter
Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False
Aliases:cf

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:Named
Mandatory:False
Value from pipeline:False
Value from pipeline by property name:False
Value from remaining arguments:False

-Description

Specify an optional description for the deployment package to help identify it.

Parameter properties

Type:String
Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:Named
Mandatory:False
Value from pipeline:False
Value from pipeline by property name:False
Value from remaining arguments:False

-DisableWildcardHandling

This parameter treats wildcard characters as literal character values. You can't combine it with ForceWildcardHandling.

Parameter properties

Type:SwitchParameter
Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:Named
Mandatory:False
Value from pipeline:False
Value from pipeline by property name:False
Value from remaining arguments:False

-Fast

Add this parameter to not automatically refresh lazy properties. Lazy properties contain values that are relatively inefficient to retrieve. Getting these properties can cause additional network traffic and decrease cmdlet performance.

If you don't use this parameter, the cmdlet displays a warning. To disable this warning, set $CMPSSuppressFastNotUsedCheck = $true.

Parameter properties

Type:SwitchParameter
Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:Named
Mandatory:False
Value from pipeline:False
Value from pipeline by property name:False
Value from remaining arguments:False

-ForceWildcardHandling

This parameter processes wildcard characters and may lead to unexpected behavior (not recommended). You can't combine it with DisableWildcardHandling.

Parameter properties

Type:SwitchParameter
Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:Named
Mandatory:False
Value from pipeline:False
Value from pipeline by property name:False
Value from remaining arguments:False

-Name

Specify the name for the deployment package.

Parameter properties

Type:String

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:Named
Mandatory:True
Value from pipeline:False

Value from remaining arguments:False

-Priority

Specify the distribution priority for this deployment package. The site uses this priority to determine the order in which packages are sent to other sites and the distribution points in the same site.
