Export-CMBaseline : Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list.

Question

I have an issue. I have a big script, which searches specific WmiObjects, saves them with the name and the folder in an array, which will be exported later. Everything works, except for Baselines. When I try to export Baselines, i get the error in the tilte. It does export some of them, but not everything (f.e the ones in the screenshots).

Is there a way to change the Indexing or is there a different problem? I know that my code is not beautiful, not easy to read and that this is very specific but I am really stuck and could use a lot of help since we want this script for our backup solution.

Thank you :)

Hi,

Please try using the simple script below to see if you can back up all the baselines.

#Run these commands on Site A and copy the files.
$Baselines = Get-CMBaseline
Foreach($Baseline in $Baselines){

    Export-CMBaseline -Id $Baseline.CI_ID -Path "C:\TEMP\$($Baseline.LocalizedDisplayName).cab"

}

#Run this on Site B to import all Baselines
$Files = Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\TEMP\"
foreach($CAB in $Files){

    $CAB.FullName
    Import-CMBaseline -FileName $CAB.FullName -Verbose -Force
}
