ConfigMgr – How to find the Application Name for a ContentID

While reviewing ConfigMgr status messages for clients reporting problems acquiring package content (Message ID 10025) I found some code snippets on sccmfaq.ch that maps the ContentID to the name of the application. As i had to do several lookups, I decided to create a function for it.

function Get-xCMContentIDforApp
{
<#
.Synopsis
    Get-xCMContentIDforApp
.DESCRIPTION
   This function retrieves the Application name for the provided ContentID. 
   Use this when analyzing status messages (10025) for clients reporting problems
   acquiring package content   

.EXAMPLE
    Get-xCMContentIDforApp -SiteServer cmsrv01 -SiteCode lab -ContentID Content_4783c44a-3f5c-4bf3-a130-a89e5520173a, Content_1d336090-12e4-445b-9c15-718ee5ddf40a

    Application                             ContentID                                      
    -----------                             ---------                                      
    Mozilla Firefox_SW10012130              Content_4783c44a-3f5c-4bf3-a130-a89e5520173a   
    Microsoft Excel 2010 x64_SW10011686_V   Content_1d336090-12e4-445b-9c15-718ee5ddf40a   

    The above example retrieves the Application name for each contentID provided.
