Parameters
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
-ChildPolicy
Specifies a child policy, for which to retrieve a parent policy. If the ChildPolicy parameter is specified, this cmdlet retrieves any parent policy associated with the input object.
-CimSession
Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.
-Flow
Specifies a flow object. If the Flow parameter is specified, this cmdlet retrieves the policy governing the flow input object, if any.
-Name
Specifies the name of the policy, or a wildcard pattern.
-ParentPolicy
Specifies a parent policy for which to retrieve child policies. If the *ParentPolicy* parameter is specified, this cmdlet retrieves all of the child policies associated with the input object.
-PolicyId
Specifies the GUID of the policy.
-ThrottleLimit
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
Prerequisites
Windows with the StorageQoS 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 is a read-oriented cmdlet; protect any sensitive results and check the documented effects of your selected parameters.
