## Examples

::: example
### Updating Path to Temporary Folder Storing SQL Backup Logs on Windows Computers

This example shows how to update the `SqlTempLogPath` registry value on Windows computers.

```
$group = Get-VBRProtectionGroup -Name "Windows"
$computers = Get-VBRDiscoveredComputer -ProtectionGroup $group
$SQLLogpath = New-VBRDiscoveredComputerConfigurationOption -Name "SqlTempLogPath" -Value "D:\Temp"
$configuration_policy = Add-VBRDiscoveredComputerConfigurationPolicy -DiscoveredComputer $computers -AgentType Windows -ConfigurationOption $SQLLogpath
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRProtectionGroup`](get-vbrprotectiongroup.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$group` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRDiscoveredComputer`](get-vbrdiscoveredcomputer.md) cmdlet. Set the `$group` variable as the `ProtectionGroup` parameter value. Save the result to the `$computers` variable.
3. Run the [`New-VBRDiscoveredComputerConfigurationOption`](new-vbrdiscoveredcomputerconfigurationoption.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` and the `Value` parameter values. Save the result to the `$SQLLogpath` variable.
4. Run the `Add-VBRDiscoveredComputerConfigurationPolicy` cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

   - Set the `$computers` variable as the `DiscoveredComputer` parameter value.
   - Specify the `AgentType` parameter value.
   - Set the `$SQLLogpath` variable as the `ConfigurationOption` parameter value.

   Save the result to the `$configuration_policy` variable.
