Example 1: Apply Local Configuration Manager settings
PS C:\> Set-DscLocalConfigurationManager -Path "C:\DSC\Configurations\"
This command applies the Local Configuration Manager settings from C:\DSC\Configurations\ to the targeted notes. After receiving the settings, Local Configuration Manager
processes them.
Example 2: Apply Local Configuration Manager settings by using a CIM session
PS C:\> $Session = New-CimSession –ComputerName "Server01" –Credential ACCOUNTS\PattiFuller
PS C:\> Set-DscLocalConfigurationManager -Path "C:\DSC\Configurations\" -CimSession $Session
This example applies Local Configuration Manager settings to a computer and applies the settings. The example creates a CIM session for a computer named Server01 for use
with the cmdlet. Alternatively, create an array of CIM sessions to apply the cmdlet to multiple specified computers.
The first command creates a CIM session by using the New-CimSession cmdlet, and then stores the CimSession object in the $Session variable. The command prompts you for a
password. For more information, type Get-Help New-CimSession.
The second command applies Local Configuration Manager settings for the targeted node from C:\DSC\Configurations\ to the computer identified by the CimSession objects stored
in the $Session variable. In this example, the $Session variable contains a CIM session only for the computer named Server01. The command applies the settings. After the
receiving the settings, Local Configuration Manager processes them.
