Description

The New-CMConfigurationItem cmdlet creates a configuration item in Configuration Manager. Create configuration items to define configurations that you want to manage and assess for compliance on devices.

You can specify the ParentConfigurationItem parameter to create a child configuration item. Child configuration items in Configuration Manager are copies of configuration items that retain a relationship to the original configuration item; therefore, they inherit the original configuration from the parent configuration item. You cannot create child configuration items for mobile devices.

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 a configuration item

PS XYZ:\> New-CMConfigurationItem -CreationType MobileDevice -Name "MD_Config88"

This command creates a configuration item for mobile devices named MD_Config88.

Parameters

-Category

Specifies an array of localized names of the categories to which the configuration item belongs.
