Export-PSGPOWmiFilter¶

Exports WMI filters of the domain to .mof files, as GPMC "Export" does.

The help of the command, as Get-Help Export-PSGPOWmiFilter -Full gives it.

Syntax¶

Export-PSGPOWmiFilter -Name <string[]> -Path <string> [-Force] [-Directory <GPOToolsDirectory>] [-Server <string>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
Export-PSGPOWmiFilter -InputObject <Object[]> -Path <string> [-Force] [-Domain <string>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

Description¶

One .mof file for each filter, in the format of GPMC (UTF-16, an instance of MSFT_SomFilter with its rules): GPMC imports it in another domain, and so does Import-PSGPOWmiFilter. The file keeps the name, description, author, dates and WQL queries of the filter.

With -InputObject, filters that are not in a domain are exported: objects with Name, Description and Queries (Namespace and Query), as Show-WmiFilterCreatorAvalonia writes them; no domain is read.

Parameters¶

-Name¶

Names of the filters (* and ? make a pattern).

Type	Required	Position	Default value	Accepts pipeline input
`String[]`	Yes	Named	None	No

-InputObject¶

Filters to export without a domain: objects with Name, Description (optional) and Queries (Namespace and Query); Id, Author, CreationDate and ChangeDate are kept when given.

Type	Required	Position	Default value	Accepts pipeline input
`Object[]`	Yes	Named	None	Yes

-Path¶

Folder of the files, each one named after its filter (.mof); or the .mof file of one filter.

Type	Required	Position	Default value	Accepts pipeline input
`String`	Yes	Named	None	No

-Force¶

Replaces a file that exists.

Type	Required	Position	Default value	Accepts pipeline input
