The ScsmMpcPx module defines a domain-specific language that simplifies the creation of SCSM Management Packs. The intent of this DSL is to make it much easier for IT administrators to create simple SCSM Management Packs that contain a small number of features (one or more workflows that can be run in Windows PowerShell, an administrative settings property page, schedules for the workflows, and some class definitions). This method of management pack creation does not require Visual Studio, nor does it require use of the SCSM Authoring tool. All work is done in the management pack definition.

If you don't know what PowerShellGet is, it's the way of the future for PowerShell package management. If you're curious to find out more, you should read this: Package Management for PowerShell Modules with PowerShellGet
Note that these commands require that you have the PowerShellGet module installed on the system where they are invoked.
TODO: COMING SOON (once this module is stable -- it is experimental right now; the commands below do not work at the moment)
# If you don’t have ScsmMpcPx installed already and you want to install it for all
# all users (recommended, requires elevation)
Install-Module ScsmMpcPx,LanguagePx,SnippetPx
# If you don't have ScsmMpcPx installed already and you want to install it for the
# current user only
Install-Module ScsmMpcPx,LanguagePx,SnippetPx -Scope CurrentUser
# If you have ScsmMpcPx installed and you want to update it
Update-Module
To install from PowerShell 4.0 or later, open a native PowerShell console (not ISE, unless you want it to take longer), and invoke one of the following commands:
# If you want to install ScsmMpcPx for all users or update a version already installed
# (recommended, requires elevation for new install for all users)
& ([scriptblock]::Create((iwr -uri http://tinyurl.com/Install-GitHubHostedModule).Content)) -ModuleName SnippetPx
& ([scriptblock]::Create((iwr -uri http://tinyurl.com/Install-GitHubHostedModule).Content)) -ModuleName ScsmMpcPx,LanguagePx -Branch master
# If you want to install ScsmMpcPx for the current user
& ([scriptblock]::Create((iwr -uri http://tinyurl.com/Install-GitHubHostedModule).Content)) -ModuleName SnippetPx -Scope CurrentUser
& ([scriptblock]::Create((iwr -uri http://tinyurl.com/Install-GitHubHostedModule).Content)) -ModuleName ScsmMpcPx,LanguagePx -Branch master -Scope CurrentUser
To load the ScsmMpcPx module into PowerShell, invoke the following command:
Import-Module -Name ScsmMpcPx
This command is not necessary if you are running Microsoft Windows PowerShell 4.0 or later and if module auto-loading is enabled (default).
