Do you run a bunch of Orion servers? Do you hate exporting your custom NCM Device Templates one at a time?
No? Only me?
Well, if you are ever like me, I’ve got something to help you out.
It basically checks for all the device templates in your database for those that aren’t out of the box and exports them in the proper format.

Thanks for this Kevin, came in handy migrating an NCM instance into our main instance
FYI Cirrus.DeviceTemplates has changed to Cli.DeviceTemplates
