This section describes the Get-MDTPersistentDrive Windows PowerShell cmdlet. Run this cmdlet from a Windows PowerShell console that has the MDT PowerShell snap-in loaded. For more information on how to start a Windows PowerShell console that has the MDT PowerShell snap-in loaded, see Loading the MDT Windows PowerShell Snap-In.

Syntax

Set-MDTMonitorData [-Path <String>] [-ComputerObject <PSObject>] [-Settings <Hashtable>] [<CommonParameters>]

–or–

Set-MDTMonitorData [-Path <String>] [-MacAddress <String>] [‑Settings <Hashtable>] [<CommonParameters>]

Description

This cmdlet creates a new monitoring data item, or updates an existing monitoring data item, in a deployment share. You can identify the monitoring data to remove by specifying the:

·     Computer object for the monitoring item in the deployment share. The computer object can be obtained using the Get-MDTMonitorData cmdlet. The first syntax example illustrates this usage.

·     MAC address of the primary network adapter of the monitoring item for a specific deployment share. The MAC address is automatically assigned to the monitoring data item when the item is created for the deployment share. The last syntax example illustrates this usage.

Note   Once the monitoring data has been removed, there is no method for recovering the information.

Example 1

$MonitorObject=Get-MDTMonitorData | Where-Object {$_.Name ‑eq 'WDG-REF-01'}

Set-MDTMonitorData -ComputerObject $MonitorObject ‑Setting @{"OSDComputerName"="WDG-MDT-01";"SkipWizard"="YES"}

Description

This example removes any monitoring data item where the name of the computer is WDG-REF-01. The object is found using the Get-MDTMonitorData cmdlet and the Where-Object cmdlet. For more information on the Where-Object cmdlet, see Using the Where-Object Cmdlet. The OSDComputerName property is recorded as having a value of WDG-MDT-01, and the SkipWizard property is recorded as having a value of YES.

Example 2

Set-MDTMonitorData -MACAddress "00:11:22:33:44:55" MonitorObject ‑Setting @{"OSDComputerName"="WDG-MDT-01";"SkipWizard"="YES"}

Description

This example creates or updates a monitoring data item with a MACAddress that has a value of 00:11:22:33:44:55. The OSDComputerName property is recorded as having a value of WDG-MDT-01, and the SkipWizard property is recorded as having a value of YES.
