Move package to another distribution point

[Unique01]

Hi all,

 

I have 2 distribution points, and one package being distributed to all clients, by a single one. For organization purposes, i need to move the package already existing in the original DP to the other. What's the best way to achieve this? Add the second DP, update distribution points, and after content is available, remove the original one? Or simply delete the original package, and create a new one assigning to the Dp i want?

 

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

 

 

Cheers,

Best way is use Powershell to do this.

Import old path for package,drivers ,appl......to csv or txt file.and import to new dp.remove dp when you test all package, drivers,drivers package ........... working well and no error.

Will try. But there's no other way, not playing with poweshell, to achieve this task?

PowerShell is probably the easiest method. Another method could be to go in the console and select the packages and sent them to the new distribution point (and remove them from the old distribution point).

Powershell saving your time if you wont use console it will take long time and posible made lots manual error.

you can start with this:

Here is eksample how you can start:

# Define output file

$script_parent = Split-Path -Parent $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition

$csv_path = $script_parent + "\Update_Package_SrcPath_input.txt"

# Define data source path to search for

$OldPath1 = "\\LABSCCM01\Sources\Packages"

# Search and export packages

Get-CMPackage | Select-object Name, PkgSourcePath, PackageID | Where-Object {$_.PkgSourcePath.ToLower().contains($OldPath1.ToLower())} | Export-Csv $csv_path -Encoding Unicode -NoTypeInformation -delimiter "`t"

}

kind regard
