| title | Runspace11 Sample |
This sample shows how to use the System.Management.Automation.ProxyCommand class to create a proxy command that calls an existing cmdlet, but restricts the set of available parameters. The proxy command is then added to an initial session state that is used to create a constrained runspace. This means that the user can access the functionality of the cmdlet only through the proxy command.
This sample requires Windows PowerShell 2.0.
This sample demonstrates the following.
-
Creating a System.Management.Automation.CommandMetadata object that describes the metadata of an existing cmdlet.
-
Creating a System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.InitialSessionState object.
-
Modifying the cmdlet metadata to remove a parameter of the cmdlet.
-
Adding the cmdlet to the System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.InitialSessionState object and making the cmdlet private.
-
Creating a proxy function that calls the existing cmdlet, but exposes only a restricted set of parameters.
-
Adding the proxy function to the initial session state.
-
Creating a System.Management.Automation.PowerShell object that uses the System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.Runspace object.
-
Calling the private cmdlet and the proxy function using a System.Management.Automation.PowerShell object to demonstrate the constrained runspace.
This creates a proxy command for a private cmdlet to demonstrate a constrained runspace.
