ALIASES¶

This cmdlet has the following aliases,

DESCRIPTION¶

The Get-AppVentiXContentSharePackages function scans the content shares configured for machine groups and retrieves information about App-V (.appv), MSIX (.msix), and connection group (.appg) packages. It returns package details including name, version, publisher, and connection group membership.

EXAMPLES¶

EXAMPLE 1¶

Get-AppVentiXContentSharePackages Retrieves all packages from all machine group content shares.

EXAMPLE 2¶

Get-AppVentiXContentSharePackages -MachineGroupFriendlyName 'Production' Retrieves packages from the content shares of the 'Production' machine group.

EXAMPLE 3¶

Get-AppVentiXContentSharePackages -IncludeDependencies Retrieves all packages including those in Dependencies folders.

PARAMETERS¶

-CachePackages¶

(Optional) When specified, package manifest identity fields are cached in memory for the duration of the PowerShell session and reused on subsequent calls, avoiding a re-read of packages that have not changed. The cache is keyed on the file path together with its last write time and size, so a repackaged file (new content) is always re-read. The cache is module-scoped (not accessible outside the module) and is cleared when the module is reimported. Off by default.

Type: System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter
DefaultValue: False
SupportsWildcards: false
Aliases: []
ParameterSets:
- Name: (All)
  Position: Named
  IsRequired: false
  ValueFromPipeline: false
  ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName: false
  ValueFromRemainingArguments: false
DontShow: false
AcceptedValues: []
HelpMessage: ''

-ConfigShare¶

Specifies the path to the AppVentiX configuration share. You can omit this parameter if Set-AppVentiXConfigShare has been called.

Type: System.String
DefaultValue: $Script:AppVentiX.ConfigShare
SupportsWildcards: false
Aliases: []
ParameterSets:

  ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName: false
  ValueFromRemainingArguments: false
DontShow: false
AcceptedValues: []
HelpMessage: ''

-IncludeDependencies¶

(Optional) When specified, includes packages located in Dependencies folders. By default, dependency packages are excluded from the results.

Type: System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter
DefaultValue: False
SupportsWildcards: false
Aliases: []

HelpMessage: ''

-MachineGroupFriendlyName¶

(Optional) Specifies the friendly name of the machine group to retrieve packages from. If not specified, packages from all machine groups are retrieved.

Type: System.String
DefaultValue: All Machine Groups
SupportsWildcards: false
Aliases:
- FriendlyName
ParameterSets:
- Name: Named
  Position: Named
  IsRequired: false
  ValueFromPipeline: false
  ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName: false
  ValueFromRemainingArguments: false
DontShow: false
AcceptedValues: []
HelpMessage: ''

-ThrottleLimit¶

(Optional) Specifies the maximum number of package manifests to read concurrently from the content share. Reading a manifest opens the package archive over the (usually remote) share, so scanning is network-latency bound and benefits from parallelism. Defaults to 16. Increase on high-latency shares; decrease to reduce load on the file server.

Type: System.Int32
DefaultValue: 16
