Description

Important

This cmdlet is deprecated. Use New-CMPackageDeployment instead.

The Start-CMPackageDeployment cmdlet starts deployment of a specified software package to computers that belong to a Configuration Manager collection. You can choose when the package becomes available and when the package deployment expires. You can specify whether Configuration Manager deploys the package only once or repeatedly and what happens when installation fails for a computer.

Note

Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.

Examples

Example 1: Start a recurring deployment

PS XYZ:\> Start-CMPackageDeployment -CollectionName "All Systems" -DeviceProgramName "DPM" -PackageName "User State Migration Tool for Windows 8" -Comment "DPM for all systems." -DeploymentStartDay 2012/10/26 -DeploymentStartTime 12:12 -RecurUnit Days -RecurValue 7 -Rerun $True -UseMeteredNetwork $True -UseUtc $True

This command starts deployment for a named package to the collection named All Systems for the device program named DPM. The command specifies a start day and start time. The command includes a descriptive comment. The Rerun parameter has a value of $True and the command specifies a recur value of seven and a recur unit of Days, so deployment reruns every seven days. The deployment uses metered network. The deployment uses UTC time.

Example 2: Start a recurring deployment for an available package

PS XYZ:\> Start-CMPackageDeployment -CollectionName "Western Computers" -DeviceProgramName "DPM" -PackageName "User State Migration Tool for Windows 8" -Comment "Deployment for Western office." -DeployPurpose Available -Rerun $True -UseUtc $True

This command starts deployment for a named package to the collection named Western Computers for the device program named DPM. The command includes a descriptive comment. The command specifies Available as the DeployPurpose, therefor users can decide whether to install this software. The Rerun parameter has a value of $True. The deployment uses UTC time.

Example 3: Start a deployment for a standard program

PS XYZ:\> Start-CMPackageDeployment -CollectionName "All Systems" -PackageName "User State Migration Tool for Windows 8" -StandardProgramName "SPM" AllowSharedContent $False

This command starts a deployment of a package named User State Migration Tool for Windows 8 to the collection named All Systems for the standard program named SPM. The command does not allow computers to use shared content.
