Description

The Start-CMApplicationDeploymentSimulation cmdlet starts an application deployment. Use simulated deployment to test an application deployment without installing an application.

Important

Starting in version 2107, this cmdlet is deprecated and may be removed in a future release. Instead use the New-CMApplicationDeployment cmdlet with the Simulation parameter.

Examples

Example 1: Start an application deployment simulation

PS XYZ:\> Start-CMApplicationDeploymentSimulation -CollectionName "All Mobile Devices" -Name "WIN8_UPDATE2" -DeployAction Install

This command starts a deployment simulation of the installation of the application named WIN8_UPDATE2 for the target collection named All Mobile Devices.
