Last week we got a new set of cmdlets for Configuration Manager and now we have the ability to create Servicing Plans with PowerShell. I put together end-to-end example and with this script you can:
- Create a folder called Software Updates (cant move Device Collections into a folder because Move-CMObject is broken in latest release)
- Create 5 Device Collections
- Create Software Updates Deployment Package
- Download the necessary upgrade package
- Distribute the package to a Distribution Point
- Create 5 different Servicing Plans

Oh, I had an essay on a similar topic. I remember being asked that when I was going to college on A&T. But I’ll tell you right away that I didn’t write it myself, of course, I already started working because I grew up in a poor family. I had to help my parents. So I decided to find an inexpensive service that could write such a complex essay for me on such a specific topic. Fortunately, my friends told me to look here at BestWritersOnline there was a whole list of those who provide services for writing such complex works. I managed to find them very quickly and the guys did not fail. So if you want to choose and select those who will work even with such difficult topics, you can look there and choose for yourself. I am glad that I turned, I managed to do it and not to lose my job =)
