Create ConfigMgr Boundaries from PowerShell
There’s a PowerShell cmdlet called new-cmboundary. This cmdlet can be used to create boundaries from a script. I would suggest using it if you must create a large amount of boundaries at once. You can feed a CSV file to PowerShell the contains the boundary information, then have a ForEach loop cycle through them and create them.
Example CSV:
displayname,vlan
Subnet1,10.10.10.0
Subnet2,10.20.20.0
Example Script:
$new_boundaries = import-csv “.\new-boundaries.csv”
import-module ($Env:SMS_ADMIN_UI_PATH.Substring(0,$Env:SMS_ADMIN_UI_PATH.Length-5) + ‘\ConfigurationManager.psd1’)
cd <site code>:
ForEach ($new_boundary in $new_boundaries) {
$display_name = $new_boundary.displayname
$vlan = $new_boundary.vlan
new-cmboundary -displayname $display_name -boundarytype ipsubnet -value $vlan }
This example script will create IP subnet boundaries. By changing the boundary type parameter, you can also create IP address range and AD site boundaries.
