NAME Get-AzureRmAutomationDscOnboardingMetaconfig
SYNOPSIS
Creates meta-configuration .mof files.
SYNTAX
Get-AzureRmAutomationDscOnboardingMetaconfig [-ResourceGroupName] <String> [-AutomationAccountName] <String> [-ComputerName <String[]>]
[-DefaultProfile <IAzureContextContainer>] [-Force] [-OutputFolder <String>] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
The Get-AzureRmAutomationDscOnboardingMetaconfig cmdlet creates APS Desired State Configuration (DSC) meta-configuration Managed Object Format
(MOF) files. This cmdlet creates a .mof file for each computer name that you specify. The cmdlet creates a folder for the .mof files. You can run
the Set-DscLocalConfigurationManager cmdlet for this folder to onboard these computers into an Azure Automation account as DSC nodes.
PARAMETERS
-AutomationAccountName <String>
Specifies the name of an Automation account. You can onboard the computers that the ComputerName parameter specifies to the account that this
parameter specifies.
Required? true
Position? 1
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ComputerName <String[]>
Specifies an array of names of computers for which this cmdlet generates .mof files. If you do not specify this parameter, the cmdlet
generates an .mof file for the current computer (localhost).
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-DefaultProfile <IAzureContextContainer>
The credentials, account, tenant, and subscription used for communication with azure
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Force [<SwitchParameter>]
Forces the command to run without prompting you for confirmation, and to replace existing .mof files that have the same name.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-OutputFolder <String>
Specifies the name of a folder where this cmdlet stores .mof files.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ResourceGroupName <String>
Specifies the name of a resource group. This cmdlet creates .mof files to onboard computers in the resource group that this parameter
specifies.
Required? true
Position? 0
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]
Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see
about_CommonParameters (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).
INPUTS
None
This cmdlet does not accept any input.
OUTPUTS
Microsoft.Azure.Commands.Automation.Model.DscOnboardingMetaconfig
NOTES
Example 1: Onboard servers to Automation DSC
PS C:\\>Get-AzureRmAutomationDscOnboardingMetaconfig -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup03" -AutomationAccountName "Contoso17" -ComputerName
"Server01", "Server02" -OutputFolder "C:\\Users\\PattiFuller\\Desktop"
PS C:\\> Set-DscLocalConfigurationManager -Path "C:\\Users\\PattiFuller\\Desktop\\DscMetaConfigs" -ComputerName "Server01", "Server02"
The first command creates DSC meta-configuration files for two servers for the Automation account named Contoso17. The command saves these files
on a desktop.
The second command uses the Set-DscLocalConfigurationManager cmdlet to apply the meta-configuration to the specified computers to onboard them as
DSC nodes.
