Once packages are exported and off-boarded from the your KACE Systems Management Appliance (SMA/K1000) or Systems Deployment Appliance (SDA/K2000), it can be difficult identifying or finding a particular package unless you made sure to document the files. They can be even harder to find if the exported item was already removed from the SDA, or in a disaster recovery scenario where you only want to import packages that you need right away.

This script will gather identifying information from all of the exported SMA and SDA packages in a specified folder and deliver the information in HTML format.

Please bear in mind that it will not work if you have only PKG files from your SDA, as it reads the data from the XML files that are exported with those PKG files. With SMA exports, it will extract the XML file from the KPKG and then keep it stored for faster reading the next time the report is run. 

You can download the script here. *Note: you must be a member of the K2000 ITNinja Community to download this file.

Feedback is very welcome, please let me know what you think or if it helps you.
