Management Services cmdlets • Overview

Cmdlet types

The following table shows the cmdlets of Tpms.Powershell according to their dependency of ThinPrint Engine components. The left column contains the cmdlets which can be used without any ThinPrint Engine component. However, the cmdlets on the right require a ThinPrint Engine, the Connection Service or a ThinPrint Client.

Common cmdlets	ThinPrint cmdlets
Set-TpmsServiceUrl sets the Tpms.Service address
Get-TpmsServiceUrl reads the Tpms.Service address
New-TpmsObjSetupAgent sets a Tpms.Agent address	New-TpmsObjTpClient sets a ThinPrint Client or Connection Service address
Start-TpmsSetupByAgent retrieves the Tpms.Agent certificates
Set-TpmsLogLevel sets the log level
Format-TpmsDispatch sets the format of PowerShell’s information output
Set-TpmsCachingBehaviour sets when Tpms.Agent is to be cleared its cache
Set-TpmsDriverRepositoryOptions sets the printer driver repository address
Get-TpmsDriverRepositoryOptions reads the printer driver repository address
New-TpmsObjDriver specifies a printer driver (model)
Import-TpmsDriverArchive loads a printer driver (model) into the repository
Find-TpmsDriverArchive searches for a driver in the repository
Remove-TpmsDriverArchive removes a printer driver from the repository
New-TpmsObjTcpIpPortRaw sets a common Standard TCP/IP Port	New-TpmsObjTpPortTcp sets a ThinPrint TCP/IP Port
Add-TpmsSnmpInfo enables retrieving SNMP information with a Standard TCP/IP Port
New-TpmsObjTcpIpPortLpr specifies a Standard TCP/IP Port (model) configured as an LPR/LPD port	New-TpmsObjTpPortLpr specifies a ThinPrint LPR/LPD Port (model)
	New-TpmsObjTpPortCon specifies a ThinPrint Connection Service Port (model)
	New-TpmsObjTpPortVcg specifies a ThinPrint Virtual Channel Gateway Port (model)
	New-TpmsObjTpPortVcp specifies a ThinPrint RDP/ICA Port (model)
New-TpmsObjPrinter specifies a printer (model) with a native driver	New-TpmsObjPrinterTpog specifies an Output Gateway printer (model)
Add-TpmsSharingInfo shares a printer	Add-TpmsClientInfo transfers properties from a native printer to an Output Gateway printer
	New-TpmsObjVLayerPair specifies a V-Layer pair (model) (containing a native printer and an Output Gateway printer)
New-TpmsObjApplyAgent sets a target machine (print server or workstation)	New-TpmsObjQueryAgent sets a target machine to retrieve printer information from ThinPrint Clients directly or via the Connection Service
Start-TpmsApplyByAgent sends the settings to the target machines	Start-TpmsQueryByAgent sends a query to retrieve printer information from target machines
ConvertTo-TpmsMigrationScript converts export files from Microsoft Printbrm to Tpms.Powershell scripts	ConvertTo-TpmsMigrationScript converts export files from ThinPrint Port Manager to Tpms.Powershell scripts

Cmdlet verbs

The following table shows groups of cmdlets according to their mode of operation.

Verb	Mode of operation
Add	• adds optional settings to those specified by New cmdlets • doesn’t make any changes on the target machine(s) directly
ConvertTo	• converts export files from Microsoft Printbrm or ThinPrint Port Manager to Tpms.Powershell scripts • doesn’t make any changes on the target machine(s) directly
Find	• searches for entries in a repository, file or database directly • doesn’t make any changes on the target machine(s)
Format	• specifies the layout of the information output by Tpms.Powershell directly • doesn’t make any changes on the target machine(s)
Get	• reads settings directly specified by a Set cmdlet • doesn’t make any changes on the target machine(s)
Import	• imports data to repository, file or database directly
New	• specifies settings • doesn’t make any changes on the target machine(s) directly
Remove	• removes entries from a repository, file or database directly
Set	• specifies settings directly
Start	• sends the respective job to Tpms.Service and – as a result – starts the operation on the target or Tpms.Agent machine(s) • makes changes on the target machine(s)
