SCCM 2012 R2 – Exporting an application with PowerShell. Revision 1

saars1337 Uncategorized

I recently wrote a script for exporting an application from SCCM using PowerShell and another post about logging.

I thought the best thing to do would be to combine the two and provide a new script to export an application

Please note that this will export from a primary SCCM site as long as you have only got 1. If you have a CAS please modify the script from:


$PRIServerName = Get-CMSite | Where {$_.Type -eq "2"}


to


$PRIServerName = Get-CMSite | Where {$_.Type -eq "4"}


You can also change the variable names and log file details to match

Make sure that the export destination folder exists prior to starting the script

As usual, if you have any issues or questions please post them in the comments section below

  1. Is it possible to modify your script to export all applications instead of just one at a time? What do I need to comment out? Many thanks!

    • I will write something new and upload it in the next few days. Basically it will need to get the details for each application much as it is here, but then a foreach statement will have to be inserted so that for each application it will run the export string

    • Absolutely, If you change line 355 to the following you should get the results you are after

      Export-CMApplication -IgnoreRelated -Path $ExportPath -OmitContent -Name $SelectedApplication
