Description

Use this cmdlet to create a software update deployment package. A software update deployment package object contains one or more software updates. For more information, see Plan software update content.

Note

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

Examples

Example 1: Create a deployment package

This example first uses the built-in Get-Date cmdlet. It then creates a deployment package using the date string in the name and the path.

$date = Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-dd"

New-CMSoftwareUpdateDeploymentPackage -Name "Updates for $date" -Path "\\gold\sources\updates\$date"

Parameters

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:cf
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Description

Specify an optional description for the deployment package to help identify it.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-DisableWildcardHandling

This parameter treats wildcard characters as literal character values. You can't combine it with ForceWildcardHandling.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Fast

Add this parameter to not automatically refresh lazy properties. Lazy properties contain values that are relatively inefficient to retrieve. Getting these properties can cause additional network traffic and decrease cmdlet performance.

If you don't use this parameter, the cmdlet displays a warning. To disable this warning, set $CMPSSuppressFastNotUsedCheck = $true.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ForceWildcardHandling

This parameter processes wildcard characters and may lead to unexpected behavior (not recommended). You can't combine it with DisableWildcardHandling.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Name

Specify the name for the deployment package.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Path

Specify the path of a network share to use as the package source for this software update deployment package.

Type:String
Aliases:PackageSourcePath
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Priority

Specify the distribution priority for this deployment package. The site uses this priority to determine the order in which packages are sent to other sites and the distribution points in the same site.

Type:Priorities
Accepted values:High, Normal, Low
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet doesn't run.
