Description
The Move-CMObject cmdlet moves a Configuration Manager object into a different folder. Specify the object to move and the destination folder. Because an object exists in only one folder, the cmdlet doesn't specify the current folder.
Note
Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
Examples
Example 1: Move an app by object
This example first gets an application object by name. It then moves the object to the folder TestFolder.
$app = Get-CMApplication -Name "Teams"
Move-CMObject -FolderPath "XYZ:\Application\TestFolder" -InputObject $app
Example 2: Move a task sequence by ID
This example moves the task sequence with package ID XYZ00550 to the Development folder.
Move-CMObject -FolderPath "XYZ:\TaskSequence\Development" -ObjectId "XYZ00550"
Parameters
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
