Detailed Description

Returns instances of the Storefront Service that the service publishes. The service records contain account security identifier information that can be used to remove each service from the database.

A database connection for the service is required to use this command.

Parameters

Name	Description	Required?	Pipeline Input	Default Value
Metadata	Gets records with matching metadata entries.
The value being compared with is a concatenation of the key name, a colon, and the value. For example: -Metadata “abc:x*” matches records with a metadata entry having a key name of “abc” and a value starting with the letter “x”.	false	false
Property	Specifies the properties to be returned. This is similar to piping the output of the command through Select-Object, but the properties are filtered more efficiently at the server.	false	false
ReturnTotalRecordCount	When specified, the cmdlet outputs an error record containing the number of records available. This error record is additional information and does not affect the objects written to the output pipeline. See about_Sf_Filtering for details.	false	false	False
MaxRecordCount	Specifies the maximum number of records to return.	false	false	250
Skip	Skips the specified number of records before returning results. Also reduces the count returned by -ReturnTotalRecordCount.	false	false	0
SortBy	Sorts the results by the specified list of properties. The list is a set of property names separated by commas, semi-colons, or spaces. Optionally, prefix each name with a + or - to indicate ascending or descending order. Ascending order is assumed if no prefix is present.	false	false	The default sort order is by name or unique identifier.
Filter	Gets records that match a PowerShell-style filter expression. See about_Sf_Filtering for details.	false	false
FilterScope	Gets only results allowed by the specified scope id.	false	false
BearerToken	Specifies the bearer token assigned to the calling user	false	false
TraceParent	Specifies the trace parent assigned for internal diagnostic tracing use	false	false
TraceState	Specifies the trace state assigned for internal diagnostic tracing use	false	false
VirtualSiteId	Specifies the virtual site the PowerShell snap-in will connect to.	false	false
AdminAddress	Specifies the address of a XenDesktop controller the PowerShell snap-in will connect to. You can provide this as a host name or an IP address.	false	false	Localhost. Once a value is provided by any cmdlet, this value becomes the default.
