Format-TpmsDispatch -Input ($results)Example 3: Script containing Format-TpmsDispatch
The following script can be run on an admin computer to initiate the Tpms environment. The script must run only once per session. It imports the module Tpms.Powershell, sets the URL of Tpms.Service and sets the log level to Info, defines a target server ($srv2) running Tpms.Agent (cps47.ourdomain.local) and – finally – sends the relevant calls to the target machine with Start-TpmsSetupByAgent -Servers ($srv2). The output layout is set by Format-TpmsDispatch.
Set-TpmsServiceUrl -Uri https://tpms035.ourdomain.local:4040 Set-TpmsLogLevel -RelayLogLevel Info $srv2 = New-TpmsObjSetupAgent -Name "cps47.ourdomain.local" -Port 5050 -Credential (Get-Credential -Message "Please enter your credentials." -UserName "ourdomain\Administrator") Start-TpmsSetupByAgent -Servers ($srv2) | Format-TpmsDispatch
Without Format-TpmsDispatch the output is shown in a classic layout.
In contrast, with Format-TpmsDispatch the same output is shown in – a shorter – table form.
