Parameters

-Confirm: Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

-Password (required): Specifies a password as a SecureString object. To create a SecureString object that contains a password, use the Read-Host cmdlet and specify the *AsSecureString* parameter.
-Path (required): Specifies a provider drive and path or relative path on the current drive. Use a dot (.) to specify the current location. This parameter does not accept wildcards and has no default value.

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

Example 1: Import a TPD and assign it a name

Import-RmsTPD -Path "." -DisplayName "Fabrikam" -SourceFile "c:\transfer\fabrikam.xml"

This command imports the TPD information stored in the specified file and assigns the name Fabrikam to the TPD. Because the *Password* parameter is not specified, the Import-RmsTPD cmdlet prompts for the domain password. Source: Microsoft, CC BY 4.0; transcript prompt/output removed. This example was not executed.
