Description

Use this cmdlet to change the settings of a package. For more information, see Packages and programs in Configuration Manager.

Note

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

Examples

Example 1: Rename a package and add a description

This command renames the package that has the ID ST120001 to ScriptsPackage02 and adds a description.

Set-CMPackage -Id "ST120001" -NewName "ScriptsPackage02" -Description "This package deploys scripts that run on a recurring schedule."

Example 2: Change the package source path

The first command gets the package that has the ID ST120001, and stores the results in the $Pkg variable. The second command changes the package source path.

$pkg = Get-CMPackage -Id "ST120001"
Set-CMPackage -InputObject $pkg -Path "\\sources\cmpkg$\newpkg01"

Add this parameter to prompt for confirmation before the cmdlet runs.

-InputObject

Specify a package object to configure. To get this object, use the Get-CMPackage cmdlet.

Type:IResultObject
Position:0
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Language

Specify a language string for the package. You can use a maximum of 32 characters in a format that you choose to use to identify the language version. To identify a package, Configuration Manager uses the Language, Manufacturer, Name, and Version parameters. For example, you can have an English version and a German version of the same package.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Manufacturer

Specify the manufacturer name for the software. You can use a maximum of 32 characters. To identify a package, Configuration Manager uses the Language, Manufacturer, Name, and Version parameters.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-MifFileName

Specify the name of the Management Information Format (MIF) file that contains the package status. The file name extension must be .mif. Use a status MIF file to generate detailed status reporting. To generate a status MIF file, your application must call the InstallStatusMIF function. For more information, see Status MIF Functions.

If you set this parameter, when the client runs the deployment, the Configuration Manager client looks in the %TEMP% directory or the %windir% directory for the installation status MIF file that you specify. The installation status indicates whether the program successfully ran.

If the client doesn't find the file, it searches for all MIF files in those directories. It makes a case-insensitive comparison of the values that you specify for MifName, MifPublisher, and MifVersion to the values that the MIF file specifies. If the client finds a match, it uses the status that the MIF file specifies as the installation status for the program. If it can't find a match, or if you don't specify MifFileName, the client uses the program exit code to set the installation status for the program. An exit code of zero indicates that the program successfully ran. Any other values indicate application-specific error codes.

Type:String
Position:Named

Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-MifName
