Parameter Set: Cache
Set-BCCache [-Cache] <CimInstance> [-AsJob] [-CimSession <CimSession> ] [-Defragment] [-Force] [-MoveTo <String> ] [-PassThru] [-Percentage <UInt32> ] [-PolicyStore <String> ] [-SizeBytes <UInt64> ] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32> ] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Set-BCCache cmdlet modifies the cache file configuration. Use the Cache parameter to specify which cache should be configured.

Parameters

-AsJob

-Cache<CimInstance>

Specifies the cache which should be modified.

-CimSession<CimSession>

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

-Defragment

Specifies that the cache should be defragmented. Fragmented cache files store data less effectively. The BranchCache service detects cache fragmentation and raises an event in the Windows Event Log when it is time to defragment the cache.

-Force

Runs the cmdlet without prompting for confirmation. By default the cmdlet asks for confirmation from the user before proceeding.

-MoveTo<String>

Specifies the new location on disk for this cache file.

-PassThru

Sends items from the interactive window down the pipeline as input to other cmdlets. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.
To send items from the interactive window down the pipeline, click to select the items and then click OK. Shift-click and Ctrl-click are supported.

-Path<String>

Runs the cmdlet on the specified cache file.

-Percentage<UInt32>

Specifies the new size of this cache file. The size is a percentage of the disk.

-PolicyStore<String>

Specifies the path to the Group Policy object to be modified by the cmdlet.

-SizeBytes<UInt64>

Specifies the new size of the cache file.

-ThrottleLimit<Int32>

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see    about_CommonParameters (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=113216).

Inputs

The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.

• None

Outputs

The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.

• Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#root\StandardCimV2\MSFT_NetBranchCacheCache[]

  The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.

Examples

Example 1

This example moves the cache file from C:\datacache to D:\datacache.

PS C:\> Set-BCCache -Path C:\datacache –MoveTo D:\datacache

Example 2

This example increases data cache files from 10% to 20%.

PS C:\> Get-BCDataCacheExtension | Where-Object –FilterScript {$_.MaxCacheSizeAsPercentageOfDiskVolume –Eq 10} | Set-BCCache -Percentage 20
