Version 3.0.1 of THE MVP Script to Download All SCOM Management Packs with PowerShell


So after the release of 3.0 at the beginning of week there were some comments of desired features and bugs reported. I’ve sent those to Damian and as he is working on fast release cadence a new version is now ready to address those comment. Additionally we are including another friend and fellow MVP Cameron Fuller to the authors. We are now on version 3.0.1 with the following changes:

  • Added Date to the Output object as requested
  • Changed the behavious for the Write-CMTrace function to actually use the supplied log path, and not just the default (Sorry that was a bug)
  • Added a switch to flag that MSI files should be extracted, based on a script from Cameron Fuller. Just add -Extract and enjoy.

All credits go to Damian and Cameron.

You can find the latest version here.

    Some MPs come with many languages, may I suggest, for the extract switch functionality on line 388, to change:
    if ($MPFilename -like “*.msi”) {

    With this:
    if ($MPFilename -Like ‘*.msi’ -and $MPFilename -NotLike ‘*.???.msi’) {
