Set-ASProperty

AdminStudio 2025 | 29.0 | AdminStudio PowerShell Cmdlets

Edition:Powershell cmdlets are enabled with AdminStudio Enterprise Edition and with Workflow Manager.

You can use the Set-ASProperty cmdlet to set the application model properties of a package. You can use new -SystemConnectionName switch to set the property value of the distribution system for a package. The property name is obtained from the Property_PluginId table for the corresponding distribution system. The property value should be the display text that is displayed in the AdminStudio user interface.

• Example
• Parameters
• Available Application Properties
• Available Deployment Type Properties

Note:Starting in AdminStudio 2021 R2, Set-ASDistributionProperty is obsolete and Set-ASProperty should used instead.

Example

To set application model properties using the Set-ASProperty cmdlet, use the following syntax:

Set-ASProperty -PackageID n -SystemConnectionName "Connection Name" -PropertyName "Name"-PropertyValue "Value"

where:

• Name—Name of application model property.
• Value—Value of application model property.
• n—Package ID number.
• Connection Name—Name of the Distribution Connection.

For example, you would use the following code to set the PrestagedDPSetting property to ManualCopy:

Set-ASDistributionProperty -PackageId 10 -SystemConnectionName 'Altiris' -PropertyName 'PackageName' -PropertyValue 'PackageABC' 

Set-ASProperty -PropertyName "PrestagedDPSetting" -PropertyValue "ManualCopy" -PackageID 1

To set multiple properties simultaneously, you should create a PowerShell script file containing multiple Set-ASProperty cmdlets, such as:

Set-ASProperty -PropertyName "PrestagedDPSetting" -PropertyValue "ManualCopy" -PackageID 1

Set-ASProperty -PropertyName "AutoInstall"        -PropertyValue "True"       -PackageID 1

Set-ASProperty -PropertyName "RunAs32"            -PropertyValue "False"      -PackageID 1

Parameters

The Set-ASProperty cmdlet includes the following parameters:

Property Name

Possible Values

Categories

Categories

String value of path to existing category. For example:

Set-ASProperty -PackageID 1 ‑PropertyName "Categories" ‑PropertyValue "HR/Office/Excel 2007"

Set-ASProperty -PackageID 1 ‑PropertyName "Categories" ‑PropertyValue "HR/Office/Excel 2007,IT/Software/Excel"

Multiple categories can be set by separating them by a comma.

Important:Categories must already exist in App Portal. If you attempt to use Set-ASProperty to assign an application to a non-existent category, the cmdlet will fail.

Keywords

Keywords

Single or comma-delimited list of keywords. For example:

Set-ASProperty -PackageID 1 ‑PropertyName "Keywords" ‑PropertyValue "Admin"

Set-ASProperty -PackageID 1 ‑PropertyName "Keywords" ‑PropertyValue "Admin,IT,HR"

Note:When using the Set-ASProperty cmdlet to assign keywords to an application, follow these rules:

• Until you create a keyword using either the Add-ASKeywords cmdlet or the Edit Keywords dialog box, you cannot use the Set-ASProperty cmdlet to assign it to an application. If you attempt to do so, an error will be returned.
• If you attempt to assign multiple keywords (in a comma-delimited list) to an application, if one of them has not yet been created, the cmdlet will fail and no keywords will be assigned.
• If you attempt to assign a duplicate keyword to an application using the Set-ASProperty cmdlet, the cmdlet will fail.
• Do not use the single-quote character ( ' ) in a keyword.
