Examples

Export-VEADItem Example 1. Exporting Active Directory Objects

This example shows how to export backed-up Active Directory objects.

$session = Get-VEADRestoreSession

$domain = Get-VEADDomain -Session $session[3]

$parentcontainer = Get-VEADContainer -Domain $domain

$object = Get-VEADItem -Container $parentcontainer[3]

Export-VEADItem -Item $object -Path "C:\AD objects"

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VEADRestoreSession cmdlet. Save the result to the $session variable.

The cmdlet will return an array of active restore sessions. Note the ordinal number of the necessary restore session (in our example, it is the fourth restore session in the array).

Run the Get-VEADDomain cmdlet. Set the $session variable as the Session parameter value and select the necessary restore session. Save the result to the $domain variable.
Run the Get-VEADContainer cmdlet. Set the $domain variable as the Domain parameter value. Save the result to the $parentcontainer variable.
Run the Get-VEADItem cmdlet. Set the $parentcontainer variable as the Container parameter value and specify the ordinal number of the parent container. Save the result to the $object variable.
Run the Export-VEADItem cmdlet. Set the $object variable as the Item parameter value. Specify the Path parameter value.

Export-VEADItem Example 2. Exporting Active Directory Container

This example shows how to export a backed-up Active Directory container.

$session = Get-VEADRestoreSession

$domain = Get-VEADDomain -Session $session[3]

$container = Get-VEADContainer -Domain $domain

Export-VEADItem -Container $container[3] -Path "C:\AD objects"

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VEADRestoreSession cmdlet. Save the result to the $session variable.

The cmdlet will return an array of active restore sessions. Note the ordinal number of the necessary restore session (in our example, it is the fourth restore session in the array).

Run the Get-VEADDomain cmdlet. Set the $session variable as the Session parameter value and select the necessary restore session. Save the result to the $domain variable.
Run the Get-VEADContainer cmdlet. Set the $domain variable as the Domain parameter value. Note the ordinal number of the necessary container (in our example, it is the fourth container in the array). Save the result to the $container variable.
Run the Export-VEADItem cmdlet. Set the $container variable as the Container parameter value and select the necessary container. Specify the Path parameter value.
