Parameters

-ActivityCount: Specifies an array of the number of access requests by a client for a service.
-AsJob: Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
-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.
-FirstSeen: Specifies an array of dates, as DateTime objects. A time represents when the client accessed the service for the first time.
-LastSeen: Specifies an array of dates, as DateTime objects. A time represents when the client most recently accessed the service.
-ProductName: Specifies an array of names of products. The installed role or specific product in the request is a component of this product.
-RoleGuid: Specifies an array of GUIDs for roles that clients access.
-RoleName: Specifies an array of names for roles that clients access.
-TenantIdentifier: Specifies an array of GUIDs. Each GUID identifies a tenant client of an installed role or product, if a tenant client exists.
-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.
-Username: Specifies an array of user names that request a service.
