Description

The Set-BrokerApplication cmdlet changes the value of one or more properties of an application, such as its CpuPriorityLevel or its CommandLineArguments, to the value specified in the command.

This cmdlet lets you change only the settings of the Application object, and not the relationships to other objects. For instance, it does not let you change which users can access this application, or change which desktop groups this application is published to. To do this, you need to remove the existing association, and then add a new association. The following example shows how to change the desktop group that an application is associated with from $group1 to $group2:

Remove-BrokerApplication -DesktopGroup $group1

Add-BrokerApplication -DesktopGroup $group2

You can change properties of HostedOnDesktop, InstalledOnClient and PublishedContent applications but it is not possible to change the ApplicationType. Also, the Name cannot be changed using this cmdlet; to do this, use the Rename-BrokerApplication cmdlet.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Modifies the application that has a Name of “Notepad” so that its description reads Windows Notepad.

Set-BrokerApplication -Name "Notepad" -Description 'Windows Notepad'
<!--NeedCopy-->

EXAMPLE 2

First gets the application with a BrowserName of “Calculator”, then modifies that application (by supplying the application object in the first position) so that it is disabled for users.

$app = Get-BrokerApplication -BrowserName "Calculator"
Set-BrokerApplication -InputObject $app -Enabled $false
