Syntax
Import-CMPackage
[-ImportActionType <ImportActionType>]
-ImportFilePath <String>
[-DisableWildcardHandling]
[-ForceWildcardHandling]
[-WhatIf]
[-Confirm]
[<CommonParameters>]Description
Use this cmdlet to import a Configuration Manager legacy package. You can use the Export-CMPackage cmdlet to export a legacy package to a .zip file.
Configuration Manager current branch continues to support packages and programs that were used in Configuration Manager 2007. For more information, see Packages and programs in Configuration Manager.
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.
