System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Cmdlet Library has been released to Download Center

Do you want the PowerShell cmdlets but not the time to install the CU for them.  Well they are now a separate bundle that you can install. CUs will no longer have PowerShell updates packaged with them.


If you have R2, no matter what CU you have installed (or not installed) you can download this and update your environment.  RTM SP1 is NOT supported via this update.  You must be running the R2 platform to benefit from this change.




The download can be found here:

Admins have been asking on how to update their environment in different steps and this is the answer from Microsoft to allow a quicker adoption of PowerShell and giving the customer the ability to control the CUs.
