Description

Use this cmdlet to get an application group. Use an application group to deploy multiple applications to a collection as a single deployment. The metadata you specify about the app group is seen in Software Center as a single entity. You can order the apps in the group so that the client installs them in a specific order. For more information, see Create application groups.

Note

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

Examples

Example 1

This example gets an app group named Central app.

Get-CMApplicationGroup -Name 'Central app'

Parameters

-DisableWildcardHandling

This parameter treats wildcard characters as literal character values. You can't combine it with ForceWildcardHandling.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ForceWildcardHandling

This parameter processes wildcard characters and may lead to unexpected behavior (not recommended). You can't combine it with DisableWildcardHandling.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Id

Specify the ID of the app group to get. This value is the same as the CI_ID, for example 1025866.

Type:Int32
Aliases:CIId, CI_ID
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ModelName

Specify the application model identifier of the app group to get. This value is also known as the CI Unique ID. For example, ScopeId_0D7D8B60-F2F9-484A-B9F3-4A8B68D14D59/ApplicationGroup_047fbf05-55f4-42ab-9581-e63fd0337fed.

-ShowHidden

Add this parameter to show hidden application groups. A hidden app group has the IsHidden property set to $true. A hidden app group doesn't display in the Configuration Manager console, and it only returns with this cmdlet when you specify this parameter.

To hide an app group, use the following commands:

$appGroup = Get-CMApplicationGroup -Name "test app group" $appGroup.IsHidden = $true $appGroup.Put()

Type:SwitchParameter
