Description

The New-SCPackageMapping cmdlet creates a package mapping object. A package mapping object binds resources to a template. For information about how to update the bindings in a package mapping object, see Set-SCPackageMapping.

Examples

Example 1: Create a package mapping for a template package

PS C:\> $TemplatePackage = Get-SCTemplatePackage -Path "C:\TemplateExports\VMTemplate01.xml"
PS C:\> $Mappings = New-SCPackageMapping -TemplatePackage $TemplatePackage

The first command gets the template package at the specified path.

The second command creates a package mapping object for the package stored in $TemplatePackage and stores the object in the $Mappings variable.
