< 1 min read.Sometimes – pretty often in the good old on-premises world, actually – you’ll need to have a copy of all the packages that are deployed to a certain farm.
So – how to download all of the deployed farm solutions (essentially, cabinet files renamed to .wsp) from a farm? Luckily, it’s quite easy!
Solution
To download all deployed farm solutions (wsp-packages) from a SharePoint farm is pretty simple using PowerShell. No need to download individual packages through cumbersome interfaces! You don’t even have to open the Central Administration! :)
The following script, when run in PowerShell, will download all of the deployed farm solutions to the specified $FolderPath. You’ll need to run the Powershell window as a farm admin, though!
$FolderPath = "c:\backup\wsp" foreach ($solution in Get-SPSolution) { $id = $Solution.SolutionID $title = $Solution.Name $filename = $Solution.SolutionFile.Name $solution.SolutionFile.SaveAs("$FolderPath\$filename") }
Originally got this one from the cool guys at C-Sharp Corner.
