  • Reference
Module:
ConfigurationManager

Import a query to Configuration Manager.

Syntax

Import-CMQuery
      [-ImportFilePath] <String>
      [-DisableWildcardHandling]
      [-ForceWildcardHandling]
      [-WhatIf]
      [-Confirm]
      [<CommonParameters>]

Description

Use this cmdlet to import one or more queries to the Configuration Manager site. Configuration Manager queries define a WMI Query Language (WQL) expression to get information from the site database based on the criteria you provide.

You import a query that you exported from another site. For example, export a query from a test lab, and then import it to a production environment.

Use the Export-CMQuery cmdlet to export the query from another site. Configuration Manager exports the query to a managed object format (MOF) file.

For more information, see Introduction to queries in Configuration Manager.

Note

Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
