[<CommonParameters>] Description
Use this cmdlet to export a task sequence from Configuration Manager. You can use the Import-CMTaskSequence cmdlet to import a task sequence to another site.
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.
Examples
Example 1: Get a task sequence and export it
The first command gets the task sequence object named TaskSequence01 and stores the object in the $TaskSequence variable.
The second command exports the task sequence stored in $TaskSequence to the specified location.
$TaskSequence = Get-CMTaskSequence -Name "TaskSequence01"
Export-CMTaskSequence -InputObject $TaskSequence -ExportFilePath "\\Server1\TS\TaskSequence01.zip"Example 2: Get a task sequence and use the pipeline to export it
This command gets the task sequence object named TaskSequence02 and uses the pipeline operator to pass the object to Export-CMTaskSequence, which exports the task sequence object to the specified location.
Get-CMTaskSequence -Name "TaskSequence02" | Export-CMTaskSequence -ExportFilePath "\\Server1\TS\TaskSequence02.zip"Parameters
