Description

The New-CMInstallationSourceFile cmdlet creates an installation source file for Configuration Manager. An installation source file is an object that contains installation source parameters for a secondary site installation. A secondary site has no Configuration Manager database of its own. Instead, it forwards information that it gets from clients to a primary site that stores the data for all the secondary sites that are attached to it.

Note

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

Examples

Example 1: Create an installation source file
