Examples

------------------EXAMPLE------------------

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. Then the volumes on the server are stored in the variable DtVolumes. Finally, the files and folders at the root of the first volume in DtVolumes is stored in the variable DtVolume1Root. The connections for the server object are then closed.

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

$DtVolumes = Get-DtPhysicalItem -ServiceHost $DtServerObjectAlpha

$DtVolume1Root = Get-DtPhysicalItem -ServiceHost $DtServerObjectAlpha -Ref $DtVolumes[0]

Disconnect-DtServer -ServiceHost $DtServerObjectAlpha
