Description

The Export-CMApplication cmdlet exports an application to a file. Specify a file path to the location where you want to export the application.

Note

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

Examples

Example 1: Get an application and export it

PS XYZ:\> Get-CMApplication "Application01" | Export-CMApplication -Path "C:\test.zip" -IgnoreRelated -OmitContent -Comment "Application export" -Force

This command gets the application object named Applicaton01 and uses the pipeline operator to pass the object to Export-CMApplicaton. Export-CMApplication exports the application to the path C:\test.zip, omitting related content from the zip file, and not exporting related objects. Specifying the Force parameter indicates that the application is exported without prompting the user.

Example 2: Export an application

PS XYZ:\>Export-CMApplication -Name "Application01" -Path "C:\test.zip" -IgnoreRelated -OmitContent -Comment "Application export"

This command exports the application named Application01 to the path C:\test.zip, omitting related content from the zip file, and not exporting related objects. Specifying the Force parameter indicates that the application is exported without prompting the user.
