Parameters
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete. The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet. For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.
-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.
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
-EntryPointName
Specifies the name of the entry point to rename. The entry point name is usually the friendly name of the location, such as Redmond or Paris. Specify the name of the entry point by using double quotes (" ").
-GPOSession (required)
Specifies the Group Policy session to retrieve configuration information. You can use *GPOSession* with the NetGPO cmdlets to aggregate multiple operations performed on a Group Policy Object. *GPOSession* cannot be used in conjunction with *PolicyStore*.
-InputObject (required)
Specifies the input object that is used in a pipeline command.
-NewName (required)
Specifies the new name for the entry point.
-PassThru
Sends items from an interactive window down the pipeline as input to other cmdlets. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output. However, to send items from the interactive window down the pipeline, click to select the items and then click OK. Shift-click and Ctrl-click are supported.
-PolicyStore (required)
Specifies the policy store from which the cmdlet reads the entry point information. To retrieve the entry point from a Group Policy Object, specify the GPO name using the format "Domain\GPOName". To retrieve the entry point information from a computer's local GPO, specify the computer's local GPO name in the format "GPO:\". *PolicyStore* cannot be used in conjunction with *GPOSession*.
-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.
-WhatIf
Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
Prerequisites
Windows with the DirectAccessClientComponents module and the Windows feature or management tools that provide it. Confirm target connectivity and version compatibility using the linked Microsoft reference.
