Testing Patch Categories
Testing Patch Categories
Tests the existence of the specified Patch Category object(s). Returns true, if the Patch Category exists and false if it doesn't.
Examples:
|
Hint: The execution of these examples requires a connected PowerShell drive. |
The following example tests, if the (in this case: Dynamic) Patch Category object with a name of "Adobe AIR" exists in the "Global Software Library\Patch Library" container:
|
Test-EmdbPatchCategory "emdb:\rootDSE\Global Software Library\Patch Library\Adobe AIR" |
|
Hint: Patch Categories can only be created (and therefore tested) directly in the context of the Patch Library folder. |
In the same way, the test for the existence of the Static Patch Category "Patches that should not be installed" is done:
|
Cd "emdb:\rootDSE\Global Software Library\Patch Library" Test-EmdbPatchCategory "Patches that should not be installed" |
|
Note: The cmdlet Test-EmdbPatchCategory is not only testing for Static but also for Dynamic Patch Category objects. |
