Convert-CMDeploymentType

  • Reference
Module:
ConfigurationManager

Converts the deployment type of a Configuration Manager deployment application.

Syntax

Convert-CMDeploymentType
       -InputObject <PSObject>
       [-DisableWildcardHandling]
       [-ForceWildcardHandling]
       [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Convert-CMDeploymentType cmdlet converts the deployment type of a Configuration Manager application.

A deployment type is contained within an application and contains the information that Configuration Manager requires to install software. A deployment type also contains rules that specify if and how the software is deployed.

This cmdlet allows for getting a native DeploymentType object from an SMS_DeploymentType WMI object instance. Can be combined with Get-CMDeploymentType.

Note

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

Examples

Example 1

PS XYZ:\> $cmdp = Get-CMDeploymentType -ApplicationName "CenterApp"
PS XYZ:\> Convert-CMDeploymentType $cmdp

This command gets the deployment type for the application named CenterApp, and then convert the deployment type.
