Import-VmsClientProfile

SYNOPSIS

Imports one or more smart client profiles from a json-formatted file on disk.

SYNTAX

Import-VmsClientProfile [-Path] <String> [-Force] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

The Import-VmsClientProfile cmdlet imports one or more smart client profiles from a json-formatted file on disk. The format of the file should match the format produced by the Export-VmsClientProfile cmdlet.

By using Export-VmsClientProfile and Import-VmsClientProfile you can import new smart client profiles or update existing profiles with the same name(s). The profiles can be exported from one Milestone VMS and imported into another Milestone VMS which can save time when managing multiple sites with the same or similar smart client profile requirements.

REQUIREMENTS

  • Requires VMS connection and will attempt to connect automatically
  • Requires VMS version 21.2
  • Requires VMS feature "SmartClientProfiles"

EXAMPLES

Example 1

Export-VmsClientProfile -Path .\clientprofiles.json
# Remove one or more client profiles or change settings on one or more profiles.
Import-VmsClientProfile -Path .\clientprofiles.json -Force

Export all client profiles, and then import them again. The Force switch is required in this case because the profiles may already exist. If any profiles were modified or removed between the export and the import, then the missing client profiles will be recreated, and the existing client profiles will be updated to match the content of the export.

-Force

Specified when one or more client profiles to be imported may already exist, and the settings of existing client profiles should be updated.
