Description

Filters hosting poweractions using the specified criteria, then groups and counts matching hosting poweractions with the same value for a particular property. The number of poweractions in the group, and the property value for the group, is output. For example:

Group-BrokerHostingPoweractions -Property State
Count Name
----- ----
   43 Started
   17 Complete
    3 Pending
Filtering supports the same options as the [Get-BrokerHostingPowerAction](Get-BrokerHostingPowerAction) cmdlet
Group-BrokerHostingPowerAction is similar to the standard PowerShell Group-Object, but is faster than piping the output of [Get-BrokerHostingPowerAction](Get-BrokerHostingPowerAction) into Group-Object when working with many power actions.
Note that the MaxRecordCount, ReturnTotalRecordCount, Skip, and SortBy parameters apply to GroupInfo records output rather than the filtered power actions.
