Examples

$DtServerObjectAlpha= New-DtServer -Name alpha -UserName domain\administrator -Password password

$DtWorkloadGuid = New-DtWorkload -ServiceHost $DtServerObjectAlpha -WorkloadTypeName FilesAndFolders

Disconnect-DtServer -ServiceHost $DtServerObjectAlpha

A server object is created for the server alpha using the domain\administrator and password credentials. It assigns the server object to the variable called DtServerObjectAlpha. The script then creates a workload on the server for a files and folders job, returning a global unique ID for the workload, and assigns that ID to the variable DtWorkloadGuid. The connections for the server object are then closed.
