      [-Name] <String>
      [-newName] <String>

Description

The Rename-IpamCustomField cmdlet renames a user-defined custom field in Internet Protocol address management (IPAM). The cmdlet changes only the name of the custom field. Associations with other custom fields and assignments to other IPAM objects remain valid. You cannot rename a built-in custom field in IPAM.

Examples

Example 1: Rename a user defined custom field

PS C:\> Rename-IpamCustomField -Name "Building" -newName "Building_Main" -PassThru
Name                          Category                      MultiValue                    CustomValue

----                          --------                      ----------                    -----------

Building_Main              UserDefined                   True                          {B1, B2, B3}

This command renames the user-defined custom field named Building to Building_Main.

The command includes the PassThru parameter, so it displays results to the console.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.

For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.
