Convert-CMDeploymentType
-InputObject <PSObject>
[-DisableWildcardHandling]
[-ForceWildcardHandling]
[<CommonParameters>]
Description
The Convert-CMDeploymentType cmdlet converts the deployment type of a Configuration Manager application.
A deployment type is contained within an application and contains the information that Configuration Manager requires to install software. A deployment type also contains rules that specify if and how the software is deployed.
This cmdlet allows for getting a native DeploymentType object from an SMS_DeploymentType WMI object instance. Can be combined with Get-CMDeploymentType.
Note
Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
Examples
Example 1
PS XYZ:\> $cmdp = Get-CMDeploymentType -ApplicationName "CenterApp"
PS XYZ:\> Convert-CMDeploymentType $cmdp
This command gets the deployment type for the application named CenterApp, and then convert the deployment type.
