This command uses the Get-SCOMManagementPack cmdlet to get all management packs that have a name that contains the string Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and then uses the pipeline operator to pass them to the Export-SCOMManagementPack cmdlet. The command exports management packs to the C:\MPArchive directory.

PS C:\> Get-SCOMManagementPack -Name *SNMP* | Export-SCOMManagementPack -Path "C:\MPArchive"
