Description

The Publish-CMPrestageContent cmdlet publishes files for applications, images, packages, or operating system installers to a distribution point without using the Configuration Manager distribution process.

Specify the distribution site, the file name, and the item to publish.

You can specify any of the following to publish to a distribution point:

• Application
• BootImage
• DeploymentPackage
• DriverPackage
• OperatingSystemImage
• OperatingSystemInstaller
• Package

You can specify the item to be published by name or ID, or use another cmdlet to get the desired item.

Note

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

Examples

Example 1: Publish a package

PS XYZ:\>Publish-CMPrestageContent -PackageId "CM200001" -DistributionPointName "FileDist02.Western.Contoso.com" -FileName "C:\Users\admin\Documents\Package.pkgx"

This command publishes the package that has the ID CM200001 to the specified distribution point as the specified .pkgx file.

Example 2: Publish a boot image

PS XYZ:\>Publish-CMPrestageContent -BootImageId "CM200005" -DistributionPointName "FileDist02.Western.Contoso.com" -FileName "C:\Users\admin\Documents\BootImage.pkgx"

This command publishes the boot image that has the ID CM200005 to the specified distribution point as the specified .pkgx file.

Example 3: Publish a driver package

PS XYZ:\>Publish-CMPrestageContent -DriverPackageId "CM20000F" -DistributionPointName "FileDist02.Western.Contoso.com" -FileName "C:\Users\admin\Documents\DriverPackage.pkgx"

This command publishes the driver package that has the ID CM20000F to the specified distribution point as the specified .pkgx file.

Example 4: Publish an operating system image

PS XYZ:\>Publish-CMPrestageContent -OperatingSystemImageId "CM200006" -DistributionPointName "FileDist02.Western.Contoso.com" -FileName "C:\Users\admin\Documents\OSImage.pkgx"

This command publishes the operating system image that has the ID CM200006 to the specified distribution point as the specified .pkgx file.

Example 5: Publish an operating system installer

PS XYZ:\>Publish-CMPrestageContent -OperatingSystemInstallerId "CM200017" -DistributionPointName "FileDist02.Western.Contoso.com" -FileName "C:\Users\admin\Documents\OSInstaller.pkgx"

This command publishes the operating system installer that has the ID CM200017 to the specified distribution point as the specified .pkgx file.
