Description

The Start-SCUpdateRemediation cmdlet initiates the action of installing one or more non-compliant updates on a managed server that are required from an assigned baseline.

Examples

Example 1: Bring a host into compliance with a specified baseline

PS C:\> $VMHost = Get-SCVMHost -ComputerName "VMHost01"
PS C:\> $Compliance = Get-SCComplianceStatus -VMMManagedComputer $VMHost.ManagedComputer
PS C:\> $Baseline = Get-SCBaseline -Name "Security Baseline"
PS C:\> $Compliance = Start-SCComplianceScan -VMMManagedComputer $VMHost.ManagedComputer -Baseline $Baseline
PS C:\> Start-SCUpdateRemediation -VMMManagedComputer $VMHost.ManagedComputer -Baseline $Baseline

The first command gets the host object named VMHost01 and stores the object in the $VMHost variable.

The second command gets the compliance status for host VMHost01 and stores the status object in the $Compliance variable.

The third command gets the baseline object named Security Baseline and stores the object in the $Baseline variable.

The fourth command starts a compliance scan on VMHost01 against the Security Baseline baseline and stores the results in the $Compliance variable.

The last command starts remediation of VMHost01 to bring it into compliance with the Security Baseline baseline.

Parameters

-Baseline

Specifies a Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) baseline object.

Type:Baseline
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-BypassMaintenanceModeCheck

Indicates that cluster patching continues node by node even if a cluster node is already in maintenance mode. By default, cluster remediation fails if any of the cluster nodes are already in maintenance mode.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-EnableMaintenanceMode

Enables maintenance mode for a stand-alone VMM management server that also serves as a host. By default, when remediating a stand-alone host, VMM does not put it into maintenance mode.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-JobGroup

Specifies an identifier for a series of commands that run as a group just before the final command that includes the same job group identifier runs.

Type:Guid
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-JobVariable

Specifies that job progress is tracked and stored in the variable named by this parameter.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-PROTipID

Specifies the ID of the Performance and Resource Optimization tip (PRO tip) that triggered this action. This parameter lets you audit PRO tips.

Type:Guid
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-RemediateAllClusterNodes

Indicates that update remediation is performed on all nodes of a cluster.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-RunAsynchronously

Indicates that the job runs asynchronously so that control returns to the command shell immediately.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-StartNow

Identifies the last command of a jobgroup and starts running the commands within the jobgroup. This parameter must be used with the JobGroup parameter.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-SuspendReboot

Indicates that the computer that is being updated will not reboot when a reboot is required by a software update.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Updates

Specifies one or more software updates.

Type:System.Collections.Generic.List`1[Microsoft.SystemCenter.VirtualMachineManager.SoftwareUpdate]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-UseLiveMigration

Indicates that live migration is used during a cluster remediation.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-VMHost

Specifies a virtual machine host object. VMM supports Hyper-V hosts, VMware ESX hosts, and Citrix XenServer hosts.

For more information about each type of host, see the Add-SCVMHost cmdlet.

Type:Host
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-VMHostCluster

Specifies a VMM host cluster object.

Type:HostCluster
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-VMMManagedComputer

Specifies a computer object that is managed by VMM.

Type:VMMManagedComputer
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-VMMServer

Specifies a VMM server object.

Type:ServerConnection
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

Outputs

ComplianceStatus

This cmdlet returns a ComplianceStatus object.
