The first example retrieves all associations about missing patches of the WIN10-01 computer and returns the corresponding patch packages by using the ReturnTarget-switch:
|
$MyComputer = Get-EmdbComputer "WIN10-01" -Recurse Get-EmdbAssociation -AssociationType ComputerMissingPatch -Source $MyComputer -ReturnTarget |
Here, all Software Sets are determined in which the package "Notepad++ 8.5.1 German" is used:
|
$MyPackage = Get-EmdbSoftwarePackage "Notepad++ 8.5.1 German" -Recurse Get-EmdbAssociation -AssociationType SwSetComponents -Target $MyPackage -ReturnSource |
In the last example, all members of the External Group "SAP user" are determined:
|
Get-EmdbAssociation -AssociationType ExternalGroupMembers -Source $(Get-EmdbGroup "SAP-User" -Recurse) -ReturnTarget |
