Editing a management pack in Notepad
As the previous recipe showed, there are times when you need to export a management pack from the Operations console and edit the management pack manually. Common reasons for doing this are to fix typographical errors or other misspellings that the console will not let you change. This recipe will show you how to export a management pack, edit some information, and reimport the pack.
For this recipe, we will be using the example of changing the ID of the management pack for our Windows Server 2012 Customisation management pack.
Getting ready

How to do it...

Navigate to Administration | Management Packs.
In the list of management packs, find the pack you wish...
