Have you ever worked against a configured FNO, trying to integrate, and finding it a chore to get the schema?

Here we are, got to part 3 of this. The topic of the day for this article is extracting the solution package from an environment.

Part one – this deals with the initial setup
Part two – this talks about connecting to an instance
So, in part two we got the connection. We have now the variable $myCRM to hold that.
This is part 2 of the mini-series on PowerShell for Dynamics 365 CE. If you haven’t read the first part, it’s available HERE.
In this part we’re looking at connecting to a D365 environment.
Just like we did with the first part, we’re putting the connection code in a function. We’re doing this in order to be able to call it multiple times, depending on the environment we’re connecting to. Eventually, we’ll connect to both a source and a target environments.
I’ve been playing with PowerShell more and more lately, and I thought it’s a good idea to bring on a mini-series of posts on this topic. I’ll be stepping through a few topics, from the most basic actions like extracting a solution and deploying it to a target environment, then move into more DevOps focused actions.

Oftentimes you find these fabulous posts with loads of useful information, but for a beginner it’s missing something as simple as the core setup.
