Register an object

Before you can control an object in GPOADmin, you must register it. To simplify the process, you can pipe values into this command to register a group of selected objects.

Syntax

Select-Register [-VCData] <VersionControllableData> [[-Container] <String>] [[-Comment] <String>] [[-MajorVersion] <Int32>] [[-WorkflowDisabled]] [-PipelineVariable <String>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]

Examples

$unregisteredWMI = Get-Unregistered –WMI

$registeredWMI = $unregisteredWMI | Select-Register -Container "VCRoot:"

The Get-Unregistered places the data about the WMI filters into an array, then this data in used to register all of the WMI filters and puts them into a specific container. The container must be created before using this command.

Get-Unregisterd -WMI | Select-Register -Container "VCRoot:\WMI Filters"

In this example, the operation is the same as above but it does not place the unregistered objects into a variable first instead it pipes the unregistered WMI filters directly into the Select-Register command.

 

$unregisteredWMI = Get-Unregistered –WMI

$registeredWMI = $unregisteredWMI[4] | Select-Register -Container "VCRoot:"

In this example, the unregistered objects are placed into an array of objects. If you enter the array name, it lists all the items in the array. From there you can select a specific object in the array and register it.

* 
NOTE: The number in an array starts at zero so if you want to register the fifth item then you need the offset to be four [4] as seen above.

Check out an object

Use this command to check out an object so you can work on it. A check out is required on any workflow enabled object before you can edit it.

Syntax

Select-Checkout [-VCData] <VersionControlledData> [[-Comment] <String>] [-PipelineVariable <String>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]

Example

$GPO = Get-Item "IE Settings"

Select-CheckOut $GPO

The Get-Item command identifies the object to check out. In this case, IE Settings is the GPO that is checked out and available to work on.

Check in an object

Once an object has been checked and worked on, it can be checked back in to the version control system.

Syntax

Select-CheckIn [-VCData] <VersionControlledData> [[-Comment] <String>] [-PipelineVariable <String>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]

Example:

$GPO = Get-Item "IE Settings"

Select-CheckIn $GPO

The Get-Item command identifies the object to check in. In this case, IE Settings is the GPO to check back in after having worked on it.

Undo the check out of an object

If you have an object checked out and realize that you do not need to work on it, do not want to save your changes, or have checked out the wrong object, you can undo the checkout. This checks the object back into the Version Controlled Root and disregard any changes.

Syntax

Select-UndoCheckout [-VCData] <VersionControlledData> [[-Comment] <String>] [-PipelineVariable <String>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]

Example

$GPO = Get-Item "IE Settings"

Select-UndoCheckout $GPO

The Get-Item command identifies which object to undo the check out for. In this case, IE Settings is the GPO you want to check back in and set back to its original condition without any changes.
