Sharepoint 2010 Export all the solutions (wsp files)

Hi,

If you d like to get all the solutions (wsp files) from a sharepoint server and save them into a location, you just need the below code:

Open the Power Shell as Admin, type:

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell –erroraction SilentlyContinue 

## setup our output directory 

$dirName = "d:\exports\ExportedSolutions" 

Write-Host Exporting solutions to $dirName 

 foreach ($solution in Get-SPSolution) 

 { 

 $id = $Solution.SolutionID 

 $title = $Solution.Name 

 $filename = $Solution.SolutionFile.Name 

 Write-Host "Exporting ‘$title’ to …\$filename" -nonewline 

 try 

{ 

 $solution.SolutionFile.SaveAs("$dirName\$filename")

 Write-Host " – done" -foreground green 

 } 

 catch 

 {

 Write-Host " – error : $_" -foreground red 

 }

 }

You can change the output location as you want, it would save all the solutions.

Great time saver !

Cheers
