Import-PSGPOWmiFilter¶

Creates WMI filters in the domain from .mof files, as GPMC "Import" does.

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

Syntax¶

Import-PSGPOWmiFilter [-Path] <string[]> [[-Name] <string>] [[-Directory] <GPOToolsDirectory>] [[-Server] <string>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

Description¶

Reads the .mof files GPMC exports (Export in the context menu of a WMI filter), and those of Export-PSGPOWmiFilter: an instance of MSFT_SomFilter with its WQL rules. Each filter is created in the domain with the name, description and queries of the file; it gets a new Id, so that a file exported from this domain is imported again beside its filter. A filter whose name the domain has already is not imported: -Name gives it another one.

Parameters¶
