Examples
EXAMPLE 1

Parameters
-ApplyTo
Specifies where to apply the configuration change that is specified by the cmdlet. You can specify the parameter value by name or by integer according to the following:
ConfigFile or 0: Saves the change to the configuration file of the server instance. The change will not take effect until the server instance is restarted.
Memory or 1: The setting change is just applied to the server instance's current setting state. This is only applicable for server settings which support dynamic updating. If the specified setting is not dynamically updateable this command will fail.
All or 2: Applies the change to the server instance's current setting state (in memory) and to the configuration file. This is only applicable for server settings that support dynamic updating. If the setting does not support dynamic updating, the cmdlet will fail with an error. The change will not be applied to the current session or the configuration file.
