New-CMRequirementRuleExistential

  • Reference
Module:
ConfigurationManager

Create a requirement rule to evaluate an existential-based global condition on an application deployment type.

Syntax

New-CMRequirementRuleExistential
   -Existential <Boolean>
   [-InputObject] <IResultObject>
   [-DisableWildcardHandling]
   [-ForceWildcardHandling]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

Use this cmdlet to create a requirement rule on an application deployment type that evaluates a global condition with an Existential rule type. These global conditions are typically custom.

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: Add a requirement rule for the existence of a custom global condition

This example first uses the Get-CMGlobalCondition cmdlet to get a custom global condition. Next it creates the requirement rule object that the selected global condition exists on the client device. Finally it passes that rule object to the Set-CMScriptDeploymentType cmdlet to add the requirement.

$myGC = Get-CMGlobalCondition -Name "Custom GC1"
$myRule = New-CMRequirementRuleExistential -GlobalCondition $myGC -Existential $true

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

-Existential

Specify a boolean value:

  • $true: The selected global condition must exist on client devices
  • $false: The selected global condition must not exist on client devices
Type:Boolean
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
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 global condition object to use as the basis for this requirement rule. To get this object, use the Get-CMGlobalCondition cmdlet.

The global condition needs to support the Rule type of Existential.

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