Let’s look at a few calls to Save-Baseline CmdLet and their results.

Of all the tasks named in the previous bulleted list, Save-Baseline CmdLet does the following: collect of the relevant properties, save of collected data as an XML file using Export-Clixml CmdLet, Archives existing baseline XML file and creates new baseline XML file while Compare-Version CmdLet that I will discuss in my next article does only the comparison between the baseline XML file and current state of the same properties collected in XML file. After the analysis phase has been finished, archive the current reference XML file and take a new snapshot XML file as a new reference point.Analyze the difference between current and reference states.Collect the files’ and folders’ properties at a certain point in time and compare them against the reference snapshot XML data that we previously took.The saved XML file is used as a reference point.Save collected data as an XML file that will represent a snapshot of the current state.Collect all the relevant properties of files and folders (file version, file size, file and folder dates, etc.).One of the approaches to solve this would be: Imagine that you have some files and folders that you want to track their change over time (new, updated, deleted files and folders). The idea for this CmdLet came as a part of the change management needs. This project is a library of CmdLets that help us IT personal to accomplish our everyday IT tasks more efficiently and easily.īefore we dive into the code of Save-Baseline CmdLet lets first explain the concept with an example. Let me explain to you how we have implemented Export-Clixml CmdLet in one of our CmdLets Save-Baseline which is part of the Efficiency Booster PowerShell Project. Import of sample XML file fails using Import-Clixml CmdLet How Did We Implement XML Files In Our Projects Here is the sample XML file used and as you can see it is a very simple example with few tags labeling Country name and their capital respectfully. $ImportXMLFailed = Import-Clixml -Path 'C:\Temp\XMLdemo.xml' Sample XML File Used In Examples $ImportXML = Import-Clixml -Path 'C:\Temp\XMLdemoExported.xml' $GeographyXML | Export-Clixml -Path 'C:\Temp\XMLdemoExported.xml' -Force

$GeographyXML = (Get-Content -Path 'C:\Temp\XMLdemo.xml') Here is the code with a few examples that we will use in this article to explain the subject: $Geography = Get-Content -Path 'C:\Temp\XMLdemo.xml' Useful PowerShell Articles About Export/Import XML Data Export/Import XML Examples.How Did We Implement XML Files In Our Projects.
