Examples

1: Create a service template. 
PS C:\> $SvcTemplate = New-SCServiceTemplate -Name "ServiceTemplate01" -Release "Beta" -Description "Service Template 01" -Owner "Contoso\Katarina" 
PS C:\> $SvcTemplate

The first command creates a service template object named ServiceTemplate01 and stores the object in the $SvcTemplate variable.

The second command displays information about the service template object to the user.
2: Clone a service template. 
PS C:\> $SvcTemplate = Get-SCServiceTemplate -Name "ServiceTemplate01" | where { $_.Release -eq "Beta" }
PS C:\> $NewSvcTemplate = New-SCServiceTemplate -Name "ServiceTemplate01" -Release "v1" -ServiceTemplate $SvcTemplate
PS C:\> $NewSvcTemplate

The first command gets the service template object named ServiceTemplate01 with a release of Beta and stores the object in the $SvcTemplate variable.

The second command creates a clone of ServiceTemplate01 and gives it a release value of v1. The command then stores the service template object in the $NewSvcTemplate variable.

The last command displays information about the cloned service template object to the user.
