DESCRIPTION

The Export-CMTaskSequence cmdlet exports a Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager task sequence to a .zip file.

EXAMPLES

Example 1: Get a task sequence and export it

PS C:\> $TaskSequence = Get-CMTaskSequence -Name "TaskSequence01"
PS C:\> Export-CMTaskSequence -InputObject $TaskSequence -ExportFilePath "\\Server1\TS\TaskSequence01.zip"

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.

Example 2: Get a task sequence and use the pipeline to export it

PS C:\> Get-CMTaskSequence -Name "TaskSequence02" | Export-CMTaskSequence -ExportFilePath "\\Server1\TS\TaskSequence02.zip"

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.
