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.

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

$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.
