PowerShell Extensions for Ivanti DSM

Basics

The PowerShell Extensions for Ivanti DSM are implemented as a so called "Navigation Provider". This PowerShell concept provides mechanisms to build and navigate a hierarchical structure and manage the structure objects with standard PowerShell cmdlets.

The following standard cmdlets are provided by Navigation Providers:

• New-Item
• Get-Item
• Get-ChildItem
• Remove-Item
• Rename-Item
• Move-Item
• Copy-Item
• Test-Path

You can use these cmdlets to manage the objects of the DSMDB. In most cases you must provide an "ItemType", that is the type of the object or the objects you want to manipulate.
