Detailed Description

The Get-SCCustomResource cmdlet gets a custom resource from the VMM library. A custom resource is a folder-based library object in Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). The resource is declared at the folder level, and the contents of the folder is unknown to VMM.

To add a custom resource to the library, create a folder with a .cr extension, place content in the folder, and then use the VMM console to drag the folder to a VMM library share. VMM discovers and imports the folder into the library as a custom resource.

Parameters

-All

Indicates that this cmdlet retrieves a full list of all subordinate objects independent of the parent object. For example, the command Get-SCVirtualDiskDrive -All retrieves all virtual disk drive objects regardless of the virtual machine object or template object that each virtual disk drive object is associated with.

Example Example 1: Get a specific custom resource.

This command gets the custom resource object named Folder.CR on LibraryServer01 from the VMM library on VMMServer01, and then stores the object in the $CR variable.

PS C:\> $CR = Get-SCCustomResource -VMMServer "VMMServer01.Contoso.com" | where { $_.Name -eq "Folder.CR" -and $_.LibraryServer.Name -eq "LibraryServer01.Contoso.com" }
