Description

The New-CMStandaloneMedia cmdlet creates media used to deploy operating systems without network access.

NOTE: This cmdlet requires elevated permissions to run.

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 stand-alone media using variables

PS XYZ:\> $TaskSequence = Get-CMTaskSequence -Name "TaskSequence01"
PS XYZ:\> $DistributionPoint = Get-CMDistributionpoint -SiteCode CM1
PS XYZ:\> New-CMStandaloneMedia -MediaType CdDvd -Path \\server\share\standaloneMedia.iso -TaskSequence $TaskSequence -DistributionPoint $DistributionPoint

The first command gets the task sequence object named TaskSequence01 and stores the object in the $TaskSequence variable.

The second command gets the distribution point object for the site code named CM1 and stores the object in the $DistributionPoint variable.

The last command creates stand-alone media using the task sequence stored in $TaskSequence and the distribution point stored in $DistributionPoint.
