Examples


Example 1: Apply Local Configuration Manager settings

PS C:\> Set-DscLocalConfigurationManager -Path "C:\DSC\Configurations\"



This command applies the Local Configuration Manager settings from C:\DSC\Configurations\ to the local computer. After receiving the settings, Local Configuration Man
ager processes them.






Example 2: Apply Local Configuration Manager settings by using a CIM session

PS C:\> $Session = New-CimSession �ComputerName "Server01" �Credential ACCOUNTS\PattiFuller
PS C:\> Set-DscLocalConfigurationManager -Path "C:\DSC\Configurations\" -CimSession $Session



This example applies Local Configuration Manager settings to a computer and applies the settings. 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 fo
r a password. For more information, type Get-Help New-CimSession.

The second command applies Local Configuration Manager settings from C:\DSC\Configurations\ to the computers identified by the CimSession objects stored in the $Sessi
on variable. In this example, the $Session variable contains a CIM session only for the computer named Server01. The command applies the settings. After the receiving
the settings, Local Configuration Manager processes them.
