ConfigMgr PowerShell syntax

A few months ago I finally discovered the PowerShell Module that Michael Niehaus wrote. I love the flexibility it offers…not to mention the speed of performing repetitive tasks. Some of the syntax was a bit confusing to me on some of the commands…in particular the ones that require the “NALpath”. I was using the “new-sccmpackagedp” command which requires the NALpath as a parameter. Once I figured it out, I emailed the command to myself…where it has been sitting since the middle of June. This post will clear that email out of my inbox!

Syntax for the New-SCCMPackageDP command in PowerShell:

New-SCCMPackageDP -PackageID ABC00012 -NALpath ‘["Display=\\servername\"]MSWNET:["SMS_SITE=ABC"]\\servername\’ -sitecode ABC

From what I could see on Niehaus’s blog, he doesn’t have a direct link to the module that he wrote. The best I could find was that he included version 1.5 of the module in a zip file along with something else he wrote. Here is the blog post, and the direct link to the zip file that includes the module.

Big time thanks to Michael for writing and posting such an awesome resource!!!
