New-CMRequirementRuleFileAttributeValue

  • Reference
Module:
ConfigurationManager

Create a requirement rule to verify file attributes.

Syntax

New-CMRequirementRuleFileAttributeValue
   [-FileArchive <AttributeVerificationOption>]
   [-FileCompressed <AttributeVerificationOption>]
   [-FileEncrypted <AttributeVerificationOption>]
   [-FileHidden <AttributeVerificationOption>]
   [-FileReadOnly <AttributeVerificationOption>]
   [-FileSystem <AttributeVerificationOption>]
   [-InputObject] <IResultObject>
   [-DisableWildcardHandling]
   [-ForceWildcardHandling]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

Use this cmdlet to create a requirement rule on an application deployment type that verifies file attributes. For example, Hidden or Read only. It requires a custom global condition of data type File.

Tip

For comparison, if you manually create this requirement rule in the Configuration Manager console, select the following options:

  • Category: Custom
  • Condition: Select a custom global condition of data type File
  • Rule type: Value
  • Property: Attributes

After you use this cmdlet, then use one of the Add- or Set- cmdlets for deployment types. Pass this requirement rule object to either the AddRequirement or RemoveRequirement parameters.

For more information, see Deployment type Requirements and Create global conditions.

Note

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

Examples

Example 1

This example first uses the Get-CMGlobalCondition cmdlet to get a custom global condition. Next it creates the requirement rule object to check that the file has the archive, hidden, and system bits turned on. Finally it passes that rule object to the Set-CMScriptDeploymentType cmdlet to add the requirement.

$myGC = Get-CMGlobalCondition -Name "pagefile.sys"
$myRule = New-CMRequirementRuleFileAttributeValue -GlobalCondition $myGC -FileArchive On -FileHidden On -FileSystem On

Set-CMScriptDeploymentType -ApplicationName "Central app" -DeploymentTypeName "Install" -AddRequirement $myRule

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

-FileArchive

Set this parameter to On to verify the Archive bit on the file. By default, the condition doesn't verify the attribute.

Type:AttributeVerificationOption
Accepted values:On, Off, DoNotVerify
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-FileCompressed

Set this parameter to On to verify the Compressed bit on the file. By default, the condition doesn't verify the attribute.

Type:AttributeVerificationOption
Accepted values:On, Off, DoNotVerify
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-FileEncrypted

Set this parameter to On to verify the Encrypted bit on the file. By default, the condition doesn't verify the attribute.

Type:AttributeVerificationOption
Accepted values:On, Off, DoNotVerify
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-FileHidden

Set this parameter to On to verify the Hidden bit on the file. By default, the condition doesn't verify the attribute.

Type:AttributeVerificationOption
Accepted values:On, Off, DoNotVerify
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-FileReadOnly

Set this parameter to On to verify the Read only bit on the file. By default, the condition doesn't verify the attribute.

Type:AttributeVerificationOption
Accepted values:On, Off, DoNotVerify
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-FileSystem

Set this parameter to On to verify the System bit on the file. By default, the condition doesn't verify the attribute.

Type:AttributeVerificationOption
Accepted values:On, Off, DoNotVerify
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

-InputObject

Specify a custom global condition object to use as the basis for this requirement rule. To get this object, use the Get-CMGlobalCondition cmdlet.

To see the list of available File global conditions at the site, use the following PowerShell command:

Get-CMGlobalCondition | Where-Object DataType -eq "File" | Select-Object LocalizedDisplayName

Type:IResultObject
Aliases:GlobalCondition
Position:0
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

Inputs

Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.ManagementProvider.IResultObject

Outputs

System.Object
