PowerShell Script to distribute packages to DPs if it's not

Question

Hi

I have a requirement to write a PowerShell script to,

1. Read a list of DPs (Know how to do it)
2. And Read a list of packages
3. And then for each DP it will check if each package is already distributed to the DP
4. If it is it does nothing
5. If it isn’t, it will distribute the package to the DP.

I'm able to figure out steps 1,2, 4 & 5. I need your help to get the PS cmdlet to check whether the package is distributed or not.

Thanks
Re-wrote the script like below.

$x = $null
$x = Get-CMDeploymentPackage -DistributionPointName "DPName" -DeploymentPackageName "AppName"
If ($x -ne $null)
{
Write-Host "Distributed Already";
}
Else
{
Write-Host "Not yet Distributed";
}

Thanks!!

See the help for the Get-CMDeploymentPackage.

Answer 3

Hi,

The Get-CMDeploymentPackage cmdlet gets information about deployment packages on a distribution point.

Get-CMDeploymentPackage -DistributionPointName "YourDPName" -DeploymentPackageName "YourPackageName"  

Get-CMDeploymentPackage

Try this:

Try{

    "Yes"
}
Catch{
    "No"
}

Hi Ian,

Thanks!!

It gives output if the package is distributed.

Is it possible to get an output like

"Yes" - If the package is distributed.
"No" - If the package is not distributed.

Thanks!!
