Description
Use this cmdlet to create a new orchestration group.
Use orchestration groups to better control the deployment of software updates to devices. You may need to carefully manage updates for specific workloads, or automate behaviors in between. For more information, see Create and use orchestration groups in Configuration Manager.
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 first splats the cmdlet parameters into the parameters variable. It's not required to splat the parameters, it just makes it easier to read the parameters for such a long command line.
It assumes that you have objects for the devices to add to the orchestration group in the device variables.
The command creates an orchestration group with the default settings and simple scripts for testing purposes.
$parameters = @{
Name = "IT servers"
SiteCode = "XYZ"
Description = "An OG for IT servers with default settings"
OrchestrationType = "Number"
OrchestrationValue = 1
OrchestrationTimeOutMin = 720
MaxLockTimeOutMin = 60
PreScript = "Write-Host 'Pre-install script'"
PreScriptTimeoutSec = 120
PostScript = "Write-Host 'POST-install script'"
PostScriptTimeoutSec = 120
MemberResourceIds = $device1.ResourceID, $device2.ResourceID
}

-OrchestrationType
Specify one of the following values for the type of orchestration group:
Number: Allow a number of the devices to update at the same time. Use this setting to always limit to a specific number of devices, whatever the overall size of the orchestration group. To specify the number of devices, use the OrchestrationValue parameter.Percentage: Allow a percentage of the devices to update at the same time. Use this setting to allow for future flexibility of the size of the orchestration group. To specify the percentage, use the OrchestrationValue parameter.Sequence: Explicitly define the order in which devices run the software update deployment. The order is determined by the sort of the device resource IDs in the MemberResourceIds parameter.

-PostScript

This string value is the text of the script itself. If you have a script in a file that you want to use, first read it into a variable. For example, use the built-in Get-Content cmdlet.
The scripts should return a value of 0 for success. Any non-zero value is considered a script failure. You can't use a script with parameters. The maximum script length is 50,000 characters.
