Migration Manager for AD 8.15 - Resource Updating Toolkit for PowerShell Reference

Getting Started

Resource Updating Manager operation can be automated using Resource Updating Toolkit for PowerShell (PowerRUM). This is a collection of Windows PowerShell cmdlets that replicate the functionality of the Resource Updating Manager console: you can use them to create, view and remove collections, computers and tasks, run tasks, and so on. These command-line tools are useful whenever your resource processing scenarios lend themselves to automation through scripts.

The following software is required on the computer where you run Resource Updating Toolkit cmdlets:

  • Windows Management Framework 3.0
  • One of the following:
    • Migration Manager console
    • Standalone Resource Updating Manager console

You can work locally on this computer or connect to it remotely.

Using Resource Updating Toolkit for PowerShell Remotely

On the remote computer, run the PowerShell prompt, and start your session as follows (changing the path and target computer as appropriate):

Enable-PSRemoting -Force

$cred = Get-Credential

Enter-PSSession -ComputerName COMPUTER -Credential $cred -ConfigurationName Microsoft.PowerShell32

Set-Executionpolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Quest Software\Migration Manager\PowerRUM"

Import-Module .\PowerRUM.dll

Using Resource Updating Toolkit for PowerShell Locally

Run the 32-bit (x86) version of the PowerShell prompt, and start your session as follows (changing the path if necessary):

Set-Executionpolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Quest Software\Migration Manager\PowerRUM"

Import-Module .\PowerRUM.dll
