1: Add an operating system to an application profile.

The first command gets the application profile object named SvcWebAppProfile01 and stores the object in the $AppProfile variable.

The second command gets the operating system object named 64-bit edition of Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise from VMMServer01 and stores the object in the $OS variable.

The last command adds the operating system stores in $OS to the application profile stored in $AppProfile.

PS C:\> $AppProfile = Get-SCApplicationProfile -Name "SvcWebAppProfile01"
PS C:\> $OS = Get-SCOperatingSystem -VMMServer "VMMServer01.Contoso.com" | where {$_.Name -eq "64-bit edition of Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise"}
PS C:\> Add-SCOperatingSystem -ApplicationProfile $AppProfile -OperatingSystem $OS
