Examples
1: Add a new custom placement rule to a placement configuration for a host group
The first command gets the host group object named HostGroup01 and stores the object in the $HostGroup variable.
The second command gets the placement configuration object for the host group stored in $HostGroup and places the object in the $PlacementConfig variable.
The third command gets the custom property object named Cost Center and stores the object in the $CustomProp variable.
The last command adds a custom placement rule to the placement configuration stored in $PlacementConfig.
PS C:\> $HostGroup = Get-SCVMHostGroup "HostGroup01"
PS C:\> $PlacementConfig = Get-SCPlacementConfiguration -VMHostGroup $HostGroup
PS C:\> $CustomProp = Get-SCCustomProperty -Name "Cost Center"
PS C:\> Add-SCCustomPlacementRule -PlacementConfiguration $PlacementConfig -MustMatch -CustomProperty $CustomProp
