In time I will update this post with a breakdown of how it works but I am posting it in full now to support my blog post on Planning the bulk import of applications into SCCM 2012 R2
It is heavily influenced by the following three articles:
- http://www.david-obrien.net/2013/07/create-new-configmgr-applications-from-script-with-powershell/
- http://www.dexterposh.com/2014/04/powershell-sccm-2012-r2-create-folders.html
- http://www.dexterposh.com/2014/03/powershell-sccm-2012-r2-create.html
This script is not intended for production use but everything works as intended.
