SYNTAX¶

Convert-VdcObject [-Path] <String> [-Class] <String> [-PassThru] [[-VenafiSession] <PSObject>]
 [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION¶

Change the class/object type of an existing object. Please note, changing the class does NOT change any attributes and must be done separately. Using -PassThru will allow you to pass the input to other functions including Set-VdcAttribute; see the examples.

Convert-VdcObject -Path '\ved\policy\' -Class 'X509 Device Certificate'
Convert an object to a different type

EXAMPLE 2¶

Convert-VdcObject -Path '\ved\policy\device\app' -Class 'CAPI' -PassThru | Set-VdcAttribute -Attribute @{'Driver Name'='appcapi'}
Convert an object to a different type, return the updated object and update attributes

EXAMPLE 3¶

Find-VdcObject -Class Basic | Convert-VdcObject -Class 'capi' -PassThru | Set-VdcAttribute -Attribute @{'Driver Name'='appcapi'}
