Description
The Import-FIMConfig cmdlet takes in a list of ImportObject instances. Each ImportObject represents one atomic Web service call to make. Each Web service call can contain multiple attribute-level changes. As the cmdlet creates resources, the cmdlet resolves references automatically in subsequent update and create operations.
All ImportObject instances sent to Import-FIMConfig are run. You can construct ImportObject instances from custom Windows PowerShell™ scripts or Microsoft .NET code and provide them to Import-FIMConfig for processing.
For more information about ImportObject instances and about themmseeWindows PowerShell cmdlet set, see about_FIM.
Examples
EXAMPLE 1
$UndoneImports = $imports | Import-FIMConfig -uri http://localhost:5725/ResourceManagementService $undoneImports | ConvertFrom-FIMResource -file undone.xml
This is a simple example of importing.
Note that this example stores the return value to inspect that all changes were made successfully.

This is an example of an ImportObject that creates a ManagementPolicyRule resource with the references to Set resources that have not been created yet.
Note that you would include the ImportObjects inside a file and load them by using ConvertTo-FIMResource . This is an example on how to script batch operations inmmsshort.
