Export-DPContent

SYNOPSIS

Exports distribution point content to .pkgx files.

SYNTAX

InputObject

Export-DPContent -InputObject <PSObject> -Folder <String> [-SiteServer <String>] [-SiteCode <String>] [-WhatIf]
 [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

SpecifyProperties

Export-DPContent -ObjectID <String> -ObjectType <SMS_DPContentInfo> -Folder <String>
 -DistributionPoint <String> [-SiteServer <String>] [-SiteCode <String>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]
 [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

Exports distribution point content to .pkgx files.

This is also no more than just an extensive wrapper for the Configuration Mananager cmdlet Publish-CMPrestageContent. Export-DPContent adds value by accepting pipeline support for an easy workflow.

Export-DPContent can be useful if you want to migrate the content library of one distribution point to another by also using Import-DPContent. If this is your intent, please read the CONTENT LIBRARY MIRATION section in the About help topic about_PSCMContentMgmt_ExportImport.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

Get-DPContent -DistributionPoint "dp1.contoos.com" | Export-DPContent -Folder "E:\prestaged"

Gathers all content objects on dp1.contoso.com and exports them to .pkgx files in E:\prestaged, overwriting any files that already exist with the same name.

EXAMPLE 2

Compare-DPContent -Source "dp1.contoso.com" -Target "dp2.contoso.com" | Export-DPContent -Folder "E:\prestaged"

Compares the missing content objects on dp2.contoso.com compared to dp1.contoso.com, and exports them to "E:\prestaged".

EXAMPLE 3

Export-DPContent -DistributionPoint "dp1.contoso.com" -ObjectID "P01000F6" -ObjectType "Package" -Folder "E:\prestaged"

Exports package item P01000F6 from dp1.contoos.com and saves the exported .pkgx file in E:\prestaged.
