Moving an applicationgroup

Hi,
the cmdlet Move-CMObject does not allow moving an application group. The -FolderPath parameter does not offer 'ApplicationGroup' as keywords in Objectype.

Is it possible by code? If yes, how ?

Note :
The documentation of the cmdlet New-CMApplicationGroup says :
“This cmdlet returns the SMS_ApplicationGroup WMI class object.”

But I can't find any documentation of this WMI class. And instances of this class do not have a Move(Folderpath) method.

    Hi, @Laurent Dardenne

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

    We can use Get-CMApplicationGroup -Name "xxx" to fet the application group, but there isn't a group called "ApplicationGroups", so it's impossible to move application groups by coding, we may only be able to move them in the console.

    Like Jason said, you may try to send a frown by SCCM console so the product team may add this function in the next release.

    Please file a frown in the console for this.

    Thanks for your answer, I'm not sure I understand this expression 'file a frown'.
    I know that the console allows to do this operation but my client asks me to automate this.

    if it is not possible by coding, it will be satisfied with the console.

    The server does not have internet access.

    Another annoying point, the WMI Application object does not reference the folder in which it exists...

    The server does not have internet access.

    The server doesn't need Internet access; only the system you are running the console on does. If you've only been running the admin console on the primary site server, then it's time to change that practice as this not a good practice for various reasons including security.
