Parameters

-ComputerName: Specifies the computer name, or IP address, of the remote computer, if this cmdlet is run on a remote computer. Specifies the cluster resource group network name, or cluster node name, if this cmdlet is run on a cluster configuration. The cmdlet exports the configuration for the iSCSI Target Server instance that runs on the computer or cluster that you specify. If you do not specify a value for this parameter, the cmdlet uses the local computer.
-Credential: Specifies the credentials when connecting to a remote computer.
-Filename (required): Specifies a file name. The cmdlet exports the configuration to the file that you specify. If a file already exists, the cmdlet overwrites the file after you confirm. If you specify the *Force* parameter, the cmdlet overwrites the file without confirmation.
-Force: Indicates that the cmdlet overwrites an existing export file without confirmation.

Prerequisites

Windows with the IscsiTarget module and the Windows feature or management tools that provide it. Confirm target connectivity and version compatibility using the linked Microsoft reference.

Security considerations

This cmdlet changes system state. Review every target and parameter in the official reference, test outside production, and prepare an appropriate backup or rollback. Do not execute the example automatically.

Examples
