Examples


Example 1: Restore the configuration for the local computer

PS C:\> Restore-DscConfiguration



This command restores the configuration for the local computer.






Example 2: Restore configuration for a specified computer

PS C:\> $Session = New-CimSession –ComputerName "Server01" –Credential ACCOUNTS\PattiFuller
PS C:\>Restore-DscConfiguration -CimSession $Session



This example restores configuration on a computer specified by a CIM session. The example creates a CIM session for a computer named Server01 for use with the cmdlet.
Alternatively, create an array of CIM sessions to apply the cmdlet to multiple specified computers.

The first command creates a CIM session by using the New-CimSession cmdlet, and then stores the CimSession object in the $Session variable. The command prompts you for a
password. For more information, type Get-Help New-CimSession.

The second command restores the configuration for the computers identified by the CimSession objects stored in the $Session variable, in this case, the computer named
Server01.
