Description

The New-CMStoragefolder cmdlet creates a new storage folder to store user migration data in Configuration Manager.

A storage folder identifies a location on a state migration point site system to store user migration data. Use this cmdlet in conjunction with the Add-CMStateMigrationPoint cmdlet to create a new state migration point with storage folders.

Note

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

Examples

Example 1: Create a new storage folder

PS XYZ:\> New-CMStoragefolder -MaximumClientNumber 80 -MinimumFreeSpace 10 -SpaceUnit Megabyte -StorageFolderName "D:\Contoso-Mobile-Users"

This command creates a new storage folder for migration data by using the maximum number of clients, minimum free space, and storage folder path parameters.
