Retrieving Top-Level Containers

Use the Get-EmdbTopLevelContainer cmdlet to retrieve the toplevel containers for the current user.


If it is a user with supervisor permissions or similar, the following containers are returned (which containers are available and which IDs they have, also depends on the installed and configured modules of your DSM environment):


Name                         Type                       ID

----                         ----                       --

Managed Users & Computers    Domain                     8

New Users & Computers        Domain                     9

Global Software Library      Software Library           21

System Items                 Software Library           22

Managed Virtual Environments Virtualization Environment 41

NotImportedPatches           Software Library           51

Managed Mobile Devices       Mobile devices             61

Device Library               Software Library           15008


If, on the other hand, the executing user has limited permissions, subordinate container objects may be returned as Root containers.


Examples:


Hint: The execution of these examples requires a connected PowerShell drive.
