Use this cmdlet to save one or more software updates to update groups and deployment packages.
You can specify one or more software updates associated with deployment packages.
You can also specify the download source ___location of updates and the language of the software updates.
Languages determine which summary details a software update synchronizes and the file languages to be downloaded for software updates.
Note
Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
Examples
Example 1: Save a software update and add a language to it
This command saves the software update named Cumulative Update for Windows 10 (KB3095020) for the deployment package named Package01. It also adds English to its array of languages.
Save-CMSoftwareUpdate -SoftwareUpdateName "Cumulative Update for Windows 10 (KB3095020)" -DeploymentPackageName "Package01" -SoftwareUpdateLanguage "English"
Example 2: Save a software update from a software update group
This command gets the software update group object named TestSUgroup10 and uses the pipeline operator to pass the object to Save-CMSoftwareUpdate, which saves the software update with the package name Package01.
Example 3: Save a software update from a software update group and specify a source ___location to download from
This command gets the software update group object named TestSUgroup10 and uses the pipeline operator to pass the object to Save-CMSoftwareUpdate, which saves the software update from the file share Updates on Server01 with the package name Package01.
