Module:
ConfigurationManager

Gets Configuration Manager configuration items.

Syntax

Get-CMConfigurationItem
   [-Fast]
   [[-Name] <String>]
   [-DisableWildcardHandling]
   [-ForceWildcardHandling]
   [<CommonParameters>]
Get-CMConfigurationItem
   [-Fast]
   [-Id] <Int32>
   [-DisableWildcardHandling]
   [-ForceWildcardHandling]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Get-CMConfigurationItem cmdlet gets configuration item objects in Configuration Manager. You can use this cmdlet to get items for other cmdlets to use. For instance, you might get configuration items so you can use the Set-CMConfigurationItem to change settings on them.

Configuration items contain one or more settings, along with compliance rules. For more information about configuration items, see Introduction to Compliance Settings in Configuration Manager.

Note

Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.

Examples

Example 1: Get an item using a name

PS XYZ:\> Get-CMConfigurationItem -Name "ConfigItem76"

This command gets a configuration item named ConfigItem76.

Example 2: Get an item to use with another cmdlet

PS XYZ:\> $CIObj=Get-CMConfigurationItem -Id "16777568"
PS XYZ:\> Remove-CMConfigurationItem -InputObject $CIObj

The first command gets a configuration item with the specified identifier and stores it in the $CIObj variable.

The second command removes the item in the $CIObj variable.

Parameters

-DisableWildcardHandling

This parameter treats wildcard characters as literal character values. You can't combine it with ForceWildcardHandling.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Fast

Indicates that the cmdlet does not automatically refresh lazy properties.

Lazy properties contain values that are relatively inefficient to retrieve which can cause additional network traffic and decrease cmdlet performance. If lazy properties are not needed, this parameter should be specified.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ForceWildcardHandling

This parameter processes wildcard characters and may lead to unexpected behavior (not recommended). You can't combine it with DisableWildcardHandling.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Id

Specifies an array of identifiers for one or more configuration items. You can use a comma separated list.
