ConvertFrom-FIMResource

Serializes FIMResource objects and stores them in the given file.

Syntax

ConvertFrom-FIMResource [-objects] <ImportObject[] | ExportObject[] | MatchObject[]> [-file] <string> [<CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The ConvertFrom-FIMResource in the Windows PowerShell™ command-line interface serializes into XML resources used elsewhere in the Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) Automation snap-in. The cmdlet takes ExportObject, ImportObject, or MatchObject instances as input. With this cmdlet, you can save intermediate work and transfer it among computers.

The cmdlet serializes the resources by using XmlObjectSerializer in Microsoft .NET. You must use this cmdlet instead of Export-Clixml because Export-Clixml does not preserve nested and complex types.

To help distinguish ConvertTo-FIMResource from ConvertFrom-FIMResource, remember that you are converting from FIM resources to a file.

For more information about the Microsoft® Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) 2010 Windows PowerShell™ cmdlet set see Forefront Identity Manager Configuration with Windows PowerShell.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Command prompt:

 
          $pilot = Export-FIMConfig -uri https://localhost:5725/ResourceManagementService -policyConfig 
          $pilot | ConvertFrom-FIMResource -file pilot.xml

This is a simple example of how you can serialize ExportObject objects to transport across a firewall.
