Understanding update types

The Get-FSCPSSystemUpdatePackage cmdlet supports the following update types:

UpdateType	Description
SystemUpdate	The GA (General Availability) service update package
Preview	The preview version of a service update
FinalQualityUpdate	The final quality update for a version
ProactiveQualityUpdate	A proactive quality update

Download a system update package

Download the GA service update

Get-FSCPSSystemUpdatePackage `
    -UpdateType SystemUpdate `
    -D365FSCVersion "10.0.40" `
    -OutputPath "C:\Packages\"

This will download the service update package for version 10.0.40 and save it to C:\Packages\.

Download a preview version

Get-FSCPSSystemUpdatePackage `
    -UpdateType Preview `
    -D365FSCVersion "10.0.41" `
    -OutputPath "C:\Packages\"

Download a final quality update

Get-FSCPSSystemUpdatePackage `
    -UpdateType FinalQualityUpdate `
    -D365FSCVersion "10.0.40" `
    -OutputPath "C:\Packages\"

Force re-download

If the package already exists locally, use -Force to re-download:

Get-FSCPSSystemUpdatePackage `
    -UpdateType SystemUpdate `
    -D365FSCVersion "10.0.40" `
    -OutputPath "C:\Packages\" `
    -Force

Use a custom storage config

By default the cmdlet uses the PackageStorage storage account configuration. You can specify a different one:

Get-FSCPSSystemUpdatePackage `
    -UpdateType SystemUpdate `
    -D365FSCVersion "10.0.40" `
    -OutputPath "C:\Packages\" `
    -StorageAccountConfig "MyCustomStorage"
