The first command gets the virtual machine object named VM01 and stores the object in the $VM variable.

The second command gets the custom property object named Cost Center and stores the object in the $CustomProp variable.

The last command sets the value for the custom property stored in $CustomProp (Cost Center) for the virtual machine stored in $VM (VM01) to 123.

PS C:\> $VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM01"
PS C:\> $CustomProp = Get-SCCustomProperty -Name "Cost Center"
PS C:\> Set-SCCustomPropertyValue -InputObject $VM -CustomProperty $CustomProp -Value "123"
