Import a driver package.

Syntax

Import-CMDriverPackage
      [-ImportActionType <ImportActionType>]
      [-ImportActionTypeSpec <Hashtable>]
      -ImportFilePath <String>
      [-DisableWildcardHandling]
      [-ForceWildcardHandling]
      [-WhatIf]
      [-Confirm]
      [<CommonParameters>]

Description

Use this cmdlet to import driver packages to the driver catalog. You can use the Export-CMDriverPackage cmdlet to export a driver package to a .zip file.

Important

This cmdlet doesn't support PowerShell 7. It requires the .NET Framework instead of .NET Core that's used with PowerShell version 7.

Starting in version 2103, if you try to use this cmdlet in a PowerShell version 7 session, it fails with the following error: This cmdlet only supports the ".NET Framework" runtime.

Note

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

Examples

Example 1: Import a driver package

This command imports a driver package from the import file named DriverPackage.zip.

Example 2: Specify import action type

This example specifies an import action type for different classes of object

$classVsAction = @{"SMS_Driver" = [Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.AdminConsole.MigrationAssistant.ImportActionType]::AppendDriverCategories}
Import-CMDriverPackage -ImportFilePath $filePath -ImportActionTypeSpec $classVsAction
