`<CommonParameters>`

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see [ Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_commonparameters?view=powershell-7).

## Output Object
The cmdlet returns the `VBRReplicaApplicationProcessingOptions` object that defines guest processing settings for CDP policies.

## Examples

::: example
### Modifying Guest Processing Settings for CDP Policies

This example shows how to assign the `CDP Admin` user account to the `WinSrv2073` VM guest OS.

```
$vm = Find-VBRViEntity -Name "WinSrv2073"
$credentials = Get-VBRCredentials -Name "CDP Admin"
$oscreds = New-VBRIndividualGuestOSCredentials -IndividualMachine $vm -MachineCredentials $credentials
Set-VBRReplicaApplicationProcessingOptions -IndividualGuestOSCredentials $oscreds
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Find-VBRViEntity`](find-vbrvientity.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$vm` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRCredentials`](get-vbrcredentials.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$credentials` variable.
3. Run the [`New-VBRIndividualGuestOSCredentials`](new-vbrindividualguestoscredentials.md) cmdlet. Specify the `IndividualMachine` and `MachineCredentials`  parameters. Save the result to the `$oscreds` variable.
4. Run the `Set-VBRReplicaApplicationProcessingOptions` cmdlet. Set the `$oscreds` variable as the `IndividualGuestOSCredentials` parameter value.
