    Hi,

    In the example you give, just replace $false by $true:

    $mps = get-managementpack ¦ where-object {$_.Sealed -eq $true}
foreach($mp in $mps)
{
export-managementpack -managementpack $mp -path <Directory>
}

    Regards.

    Per Francois suggestion, this would _find_ the sealed ones, but it will export them as XML or not export them if they are hard-sealed (not exportable)

    If Entelekia is looking for a _backup_ of the imported sealed MPs, then OM does not provide a way to recover what you have imported.  Several great products out there do a great job at creating an archive of the changes made to your OM production environment - the one that comes to mind is Silect MP Studio.

    Otherwise, archive would involve keeping a copy of every management pack downloaded (in MSI form is easier) as well as every override change made before import into the live production monitoring environment.

    But I don't know why I can export to xml those sealed mps. You cannot export .mp files, but you can do it to xml ¿?.

    Hi

    When you export a management pack from OpsMgr, you can only export as xml.

    If you want to open up a sealed management pack (.mp file), you can do so in the authoring console.

    Cheers

    Thanks Graham for your reply.

    So if I will seal this xml mp, I will obtain the same mp that I have sealed in the console, ins't it?

    Depends what we mean by "same".

    The functionality and contents will be the same.

    But the seal on the management pack won't be which does have implications.
