Description
The New-CMPackage cmdlet creates a Configuration Manager package. A package is a Configuration Manager object that contains the content files and instructions for distributing programs, software updates, boot images, operating system images, and drivers to Configuration Manager clients.
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 package
PS XYZ:\> New-CMPackage -Name "ScriptsPackage01"
This command creates a Configuration Manager package named ScriptsPackage01.
Example 2: Create a package and add a description
PS XYZ:\> New-CMPackage -Name "ScriptsPackage02" -Description "This package deploys scripts that run on a recurring schedule."
This command creates a Configuration Manager package named ScriptsPackage02 and adds the specified description to the package.
