Syntax

New-BrokerMachineConfiguration
   -ConfigurationSlotUid <Int32>
   [-Description <String>]
   -LeafName <String>
   -Policy <Byte[]>
   [-LoggingId <Guid>]

Description

Creates a new machine configuration containing settings that match the SettingsGroup of the associated configuration slot. This machine configuration can then be applied to a desktop group to have the settings applied to machines in that group.

The SettingsGroup of the configuration slot restricts the permitted settings. Use the SDK snap-in that matches the SettingsGroup to create the encoded settings data.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Creates a new configuration named “%SlotName%\Finance Department” where %SlotName% is the name of the configuration slot having the Uid $csUid. The encoded settings in the $policy variable must match the SettingsGroup of the configuration slot having the Uid $csUid.

New-BrokerMachineConfiguration -LeafName "Finance Department" -Description "Finance Dept. User Profile Management policy" -Policy $policy -ConfigurationSlotUid $csUid
