Extracting all Solutions from a live SharePoint Farm

Lately this contribution from Barto Molina caught my attention in the TechNet Forums: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointadmin/thread/dd50264d-6f4d-4b31-bf7f-959efdbc6b7c/. His C# code iterates through the solutions stored in the local farm and saves them to the file system under the form of a standard WSP file.

You’ll find a “PowerShellized” version of it over here: http://www.marc-antho-etc.net/scriptdetail.aspx?script=spExtractSolutions.ps1.txt. I hope you’ll find it useful.

And cut!
