Examples

1: Update a specified library share. 
PS C:\> $LibShare = Get-SCLibraryShare -VMMServer "VMMServer01.Contoso.com" | where { $_.LibraryServer.Name -eq “LibraryServer01.Contoso.com” -and $_.Name -eq “AllVHDs” }
PS C:\> Read-SCLibraryShare -LibraryShare $LibShare

The first command gets the library share object named AllVHDs on LibraryServer01 from the VMM library on VMMServer01 and then stores the object in the $LibShare variable. 

The second command updates the state and metadata information for all library objects in the share stored in $LibShare, and then it adds any new library objects found in the share to the VMM library.
2: Update multiple library shares. 
PS C:\> $LibShares = Get-SCLibraryShare -VMMServer "VMMServer1.Contoso.com" | where { $_.LibraryServer.Name -eq "LibraryServer01.Contoso.com" -and $_.Name -match "vhd" }
PS C:\> $LibShares | Read-SCLibraryShare

The first command gets the library share objects on LibraryServer01 with the string "vhd" in their names, and then stores the objects in the $LibShares variable. 

The second command updates the information for all library shares stored in $LibShares, and then it adds any new library objects found in these shares to the VMM library.
