Examples

EXAMPLE 1 Basic Config Import

Import-STFConfiguration -configurationZip '$env:userprofile\desktop\ConfigBackup.zip'
<!--NeedCopy-->

REMARKS

This will import the ConfigBackup.zip configuration archive using the host

base url and site id from the exported configuration.

EXAMPLE 2 Import Config to Configure an Unconfigured Machine

Import-STFConfiguration -configurationZip '$env:userprofile\desktop\ConfigBackup.zip' -hostBaseUrl 'https://storefront.example.com'
<!--NeedCopy-->

REMARKS

Using the password supplied in $CredObject this cmdlet will decrypt and import

the ConfigBackup.ctxzip backup archive using the host base url and site id

from the exported configuration.

Example PSCredential:

$User = Any non empty string will suffice here. The exported configuration is

secured by only using the $Password.

$Password = ‘Secret’

$Password = $Password ConvertTo-SecureString -asPlainText -Force

$CredObject = New-Object

System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($User,$Password)

Create a PowerShell credential object containing a username and password for

symmetric encryption and decryption of configuration backup archives.

PowerShell credential objects store passwords as secure strings in memory.

The user is irrelevant but mandatory to create a PowerShell credential object.

The example code uses the currently logged in user.

The password is used for symmetric encryption/decryption of the backup

archive. NOTE: The password DOES NOT need to match the user’s password to

create a valid credential object.
