VMMServer

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? true (ByValue)
Position? named 
Specifies a VMM server object.

RemediateAllClusterNodes

Required? true
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Indicates that update remediation is performed on all nodes of a cluster.

Examples

1: Bring a host into compliance with a specified baseline. 
PS C:\> $VMHost = Get-SCVMHost -ComputerName "VMHost01"
PS C:\> $Compliance = Get-SCComplianceStatus -VMMManagedComputer $VMHost.ManagedComputer
PS C:\> $Baseline = Get-SCBaseline -Name "Security Baseline"
PS C:\> $Compliance = Start-SCComplianceScan –VMMManagedComputer $VMHost.ManagedComputer –Baseline $Baseline
PS C:\> Start-SCUpdateRemediation -VMMManagedComputer $VMHost.ManagedComputer –Baseline $Baseline

The first command gets the host object named VMHost01 and stores the object in the $VMHost variable.

The second command gets the compliance status for host VMHost01 and stores the status object in the $Compliance variable.

The third command gets the baseline object named Security Baseline and stores the object in the $Baseline variable.

The fourth command starts a compliance scan on VMHost01 against the Security Baseline baseline and stores the results in the $Compliance variable.

The last command starts remediation of VMHost01 to bring it into compliance with the Security Baseline baseline.
