NAME Export-BinaryMiLog
SYNOPSIS
Creates a binary encoded representation of an object or objects and stores it in a file.
SYNTAX
Export-BinaryMiLog [-Path] <String> [-InputObject <CimInstance>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
The Export-BinaryMILog cmdlet creates a binary-based representation of an object or objects and stores it in a file. You can then use the
Import-BinaryMiLog cmdlet to re-create the saved object based on the contents of that file.
This cmdlet is similar to Import-Clixml, except that Export-BinaryMILog stores the resulting object in a binary encoded file.
PARAMETERS
-InputObject [<CimInstance>]
Specifies the input to this cmdlet. You can use this parameter, or you can pipe the input to this cmdlet.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Path <String>
Specifies the path of the file in which to store the binary representation of the object.
The Path parameter supports wild cards and relative paths. This cmdlet generates an error if the path resolves to more than one file.
Required? true
Position? 1
Default value none
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
OUTPUTS
Example 1: Create a binary representation of CimInstances
PS C:\\> Get-CimInstance Win32_Process | Export-BinaryMiLog -Path "Processes.bmil"
This command exports CimInstances to a binary MI log file specified by the Path parameter. See the example for Import-BinaryMiLog to see how to
recreate the CimInstances by importing this file.
