Syntax

Parameter Set: Default
Suspend-BitsTransfer [-BitsJob] <BitsJob[]> [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

Inputs

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

  • Microsoft.BackgroundIntelligentTransfer.Management.BitsJob[]

    This cmdlet accepts one or more BitsJob objects as input that populates the BitsJob parameter.

Outputs

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

  • Microsoft.BackgroundIntelligentTransfer.Management.BitsJob[]

    This cmdlet generates the BitsJob objects that are associated with the BITS transfer jobs that were suspended.

Examples

-------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 --------------------------

This command suspends all the BITS transfer jobs that are owned by the current user.

The output of Get-BitsTransfer is a set of BitsJob objects. This output is piped to the Suspend-BitsTransfer cmdlet.

C:\PS>Get-BitsTransfer | Suspend-BitsTransfer

-------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 --------------------------

This command suspends all the BITS transfer jobs on the computer.

The first command retrieves all the BitsJob objects on the computer and then stores them in the $b variable.

The second command uses the BitsJob parameter to pass the BitsJob objects that are stored in the $b variable to the Suspend-BitsTransfer cmdlet.

C:\PS>$b = Get-BitsTransfer -AllUsers
PS C:\> Suspend-BitsTransfer -BitsJob $b
