Set-WSManInstance
Modifies the management information that is related to a resource. PowerShell reference
From the PowerShell reference 16 parameters
What it does
Modifies the management information that is related to a resource. The Set-WSManInstance cmdlet modifies the management information that is related to a resource. This cmdlet uses the WinRM connection/transport layer to modify the information.

Parameters
-ApplicationNameSpecifies the application name in the connection. The default value of the ApplicationName parameter is "WSMAN". The complete identifier for the remote endpoint is in the following format:
<transport>://<server>:<port>/<ApplicationName>
For example:
http://server01:8080/WSMAN
Internet Information Services (IIS), which hosts the session, forwards requests with this endpoint to the specified application. This default setting of WSMAN is appropriate for most uses. This parameter is designed to be used when numerous computers establish remote connections to one computer that is running Windows PowerShell. In this case, IIS hosts Web Services for Management (WS-Management) for efficiency.-AuthenticationSpecifies the authentication mechanism to be used at the server. Possible values are:
- Basic: Basic is a scheme in which the user name and password are sent in clear text to the
server or proxy.
- Default : Use the authentication method implemented by the WS-Management protocol. This is the
default.
- Digest: Digest is a challenge-response scheme that uses a server-specified data string for the
challenge.
- Kerberos: The client computer and the server mutually authenticate by using Kerberos
certificates.
- Negotiate: Negotiate is a challenge-response scheme that negotiates with the server or proxy to
determine the scheme to use for authentication. For example, this parameter value allows
negotiation to determine whether the Kerberos protocol or NTLM is used.
- CredSSP: Use Credential Security Support Provider (CredSSP) authentication, which allows the
user to delegate credentials. This option is designed for commands that run on one remote computer
but collect data from or run additional commands on other remote computers.
CAUTION: CredSSP delegates the user's credentials from the local computer to a remote computer. …-CertificateThumbprintSpecifies the digital public key certificate (X509) of a user account that has permission to perform this action. Enter the certificate thumbprint of the certificate.
Certificates are used in client certificate-based authentication. They can be mapped only to local user accounts; they do not work with domain accounts.
To get a certificate thumbprint, use the Get-Item or Get-ChildItem command in the PowerShell Cert: drive.-ComputerNameSpecifies the computer against which you want to run the management operation. The value can be a fully qualified domain name, a NetBIOS name, or an IP address. Use the local computer name, localhost, or a dot (.) to specify the local computer. The local computer is the default.
When the remote computer is in a different domain from the user, you must use a fully qualified domain name. You can pipe a value for this parameter to the cmdlet.-ConnectionURISpecifies the connection endpoint. The format of this string is:
<Transport>://<Server>:<Port>/<ApplicationName>
The following string is a properly formatted value for this parameter:
http://Server01:8080/WSMAN
The URI must be fully qualified.-CredentialSpecifies a user account that has permission to perform this action. The default is the current user. Type a user name, such as User01, Domain01\User01, or User@Domain.com. Alternatively, enter a PSCredential object, such as one returned by the Get-Credential cmdlet. When you type a user name, you will be prompted for a password.-DialectSpecifies the dialect to use in the filter predicate. This can be any dialect that is supported by the remote service. The following aliases can be used for the dialect URI:
- WQL: http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/WQL
- Selector: http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wsman/SelectorFilter
- Association: http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/1/cimbinding/associationFilter-FilePathSpecifies the path of a file used to update a management resource. For more information, see Example 4.-FragmentSpecifies a section inside the instance that is to be updated or retrieved for the specified operation. For example, to get the status of a spooler service, specify -Fragment Status.-OptionSetPasses a set of switches to a service to modify or refine the nature of the request. These are similar to switches used in command-line shells because they are service specific. Any number of options can be specified.
The following example demonstrates the syntax that passes the values 1, 2, and 3 for the a, b, and c parameters:
-OptionSet @{a=1;b=2;c=3}-PortSpecifies the port to use when the client connects to the WinRM service. When the transport is HTTP, the default port is 80. When the transport is HTTPS, the default port is 443.
When you use HTTPS as the transport, the value of the ComputerName parameter must match the server's certificate common name (CN). However, if the SkipCNCheck parameter is specified as part of the SessionOption parameter, then the certificate common name of the server does not have to match the host name of the server. The SkipCNCheck parameter should be used only for trusted machines.-ResourceURIContains the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of the resource class or instance. The URI is used to identify a specific type of resource, such as disks or processes, on a computer.
A URI consists of a prefix and a path to a resource. For example:
http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wmi/root/cimv2/Win32_LogicalDisk
http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/CIM_NumericSensor-SelectorSetSpecifies a set of value pairs that are used to select particular management resource instances. The SelectorSet parameter is used when more than one instance of the resource exists. The value of the SelectorSet parameter must be a hash table. The following example shows how to enter a value for this parameter:
-SelectorSet @{Name="WinRM";ID="yyy"}-SessionOptionDefines a set of extended options for the WS-Management session. Enter a SessionOption object that you create with the New-WSManSessionOption cmdlet. For more information about the options that are available, see New-WSManSessionOption.-UseSSLSpecifies that the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol should be used to establish a connection to the remote computer. By default, SSL is not used.
WS-Management encrypts all the Windows PowerShell content that is transmitted over the network. The UseSSL parameter lets you specify the additional protection of HTTPS instead of HTTP. If SSL is not available on the port that is used for the connection and you specify this parameter, the command fails.-ValueSetSpecifies a hash table that helps modify a management resource. You specify the management resource by using the ResourceURI parameter and the SelectorSet parameter. The value of the ValueSet parameter must be a hash table.
