Set-SCCustomResource

Sets the properties of a custom resource.

Description

The Set-SCCustomResource cmdlet sets the properties of a custom resource. A custom resource is a folder-based library object in System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). The resource is declared at the folder level, and the contents of the folder is unknown to VMM. 

To add a custom resource to the library, create a folder with a .CR extension, place content in the folder, and then use the VMM console to drag the folder to a VMM library share. VMM discovers and imports the folder into the library as a custom resource.

Parameters

Specifies a custom resource object.

States a description for the specified object.

Enables an object when set to $True, or disables an object when set to $False. For example, if you want to upgrade software on a virtual machine template, you can disable the template object in the VMM library to temporarily prevent users from using that object.

Specifies a family name for a physical resource in the VMM library. This value is used in conjunction with Release, Namespace, and Type to establish equivalency among library resources.

Specifies that job progress is tracked and stored in the variable named by this parameter. 

Specifies the name of a VMM object.

Specifies the owner of a VMM object in the form of a valid domain user account.

Example format: -Owner "Contoso\ReneeLo"
Example format: -Owner "ReneeLo@Contoso"

Specifies the ID of the PRO tip that triggered this action. This allows for auditing of PRO tips.

Specifies a string that describes the release of a library resource. VMM automatically creates a release value for every resource imported into the library. After the resource has been imported, the string can be customized.

Indicates that the job runs asynchronously so that control returns to the command shell immediately. 

Specifies a path to a valid library share on an existing library server that uses a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path. 

Example format: –SharePath "\\LibServer01\LibShare"

Specifies a user role object.

Specifies a VMM server object.

Specifies an array of custom resource objects.

Specifies a family name for a physical resource in the VMM library. This value is used in conjunction with Release, Namespace, and Type to establish equivalency among library resources.

Specifies that job progress is tracked and stored in the variable named by this parameter. 

Specifies the ID of the PRO tip that triggered this action. This allows for auditing of PRO tips.

Specifies a string that describes the release of a library resource. VMM automatically creates a release value for every resource imported into the library. After the resource has been imported, the string can be customized.

Indicates that the job runs asynchronously so that control returns to the command shell immediately. 

Specifies a VMM server object.

Examples

PS C:\> $CR = Get-SCCustomResource -VMMServer "VMMServer01.Contoso.com" | where { $_.Name -eq “Folder.CR” -and $_.LibraryServer.Name -eq "LibraryServer01.Contoso.com” }
PS C:\> Set-SCCustomResource -CustomResource $CR -Release "v1.1" -Description “My LOB Application version 1.1 Install Package” 

The first command gets the custom resource object named Folder.CR on LibraryServer01 from the VMM library on VMMServer01 and then stores the object in the $CR variable.

The second command changes the values for the Release and Description properties of the custom resource object stored in $CR,.
