Using WMI Windows PowerShell Cmdlets to Manage the BITS Compact Server

Windows PowerShell provides a simple mechanism to connect to Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) on a remote computer and manage the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) Compact Server. The BITS Compact Server is an optional server component that must be installed separately. For information about installing the Compact Server, see the BITS Compact Server documentation.

  1. Connect to the BITS provider.

    $cred = Get-Credential
    $bcs = Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root\Microsoft\BITS" -Class "BITSCompactServerUrlGroup" `
    -List -ComputerName Server1 -Credential $cred
    

    The Get-Credential cmdlet requests the user's credentials to connect to the remote computer and assigns the credentials to the $cred object.

    The objects returned by the Get-WmiObject cmdlet are assigned to the $bcs variable. In the preceding example, the Get-WmiObject cmdlet retrieves the BITSCompactServerUrlGroup class in the root\Microsoft\BITS namespace of Server1. Static methods exposed by the BITSCompactServerUrlGroup class can be called on the $bcs object. For more information about BITS remote management, see BITS provider and BITS provider classes.

    Note

    The grave-accent character (`) is used to indicate a line break.

     

  2. Create a URL group on the server.

    $URLGroup = "https://Server1:80/testurlgroup" 
    $bcs.CreateUrlGroup($URLGroup)
    

    The "https://Server1:80/testurlgroup" URL prefix string is assigned to the $URLGroup variable. The $URLGroup variable is passed to the CreateUrlGroup method, which creates the URL group on Server1.

    You can specify a different URL group. The URL group must conform to a valid URL prefix string. For more information about URL prefixes, see UrlPrefix Strings.

  3. Host a file on the URL group.

    $bcsObj = Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root\Microsoft\BITS" -Class "BITSCompactServerUrlGroup" -filter ("UrlGroup='" + $URLGroup + "'") -ComputerName Server1 -Credential $cred
    $bcsObj.CreateURL("url.txt", "c:\\temp\\1.txt", "") -ComputerName Server1 -Credential $cred
    

    The BITSCompactServerUrlGroup instance returned by the Get-WmiObject cmdlet is assigned to the $bcsObj variable. The CreateUrl method is called for the $bcsObj with the "url.txt" URL suffix, the "c:\\temp\\1.txt" source path for the file, and an empty security descriptor string as parameters. The "url.txt" suffix is added to the URL group prefix. Clients can download the file from the following address: https://Server1:80/testurlgroup/url.txt.

  4. Clean up the URL and the URL group.

    $bcsObj.Delete()
    

    The system.object Delete method deletes the $bcsObj object.
