Examples

Example 1: List every USBGroup

PS> Get-XenUSBGroup
Retrieves every USBGroup object in the pool. With no parameters the cmdlet fetches the whole collection.

Example 2: Retrieve one USBGroup by name

PS> Get-XenUSBGroup -Name "Demo USBGroup"
Retrieves a single USBGroup. -Name matches on name\_label, which is not unique, so every match is operated on.

Example 3: Retrieve one USBGroup by uuid

PS> Get-XenUSBGroup -Uuid 1871ac51-ce6b-efc3-7fd0-28bc65aa39ff
Retrieves a single USBGroup. -Uuid is the way to be sure of exactly one object.
