New-PSFTempItem

SYNOPSIS

Creates a temporary item

SYNTAX

New-PSFTempItem [-Name] <String> [-ProviderName] <String> [-Data] <Hashtable> [[-Timeout] <DateTimeParameter>]
 [[-ModuleName] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

Creates a temporary item. This is a generically extensible item that requires a provider - a plugin - that determines what it actually means. Depending on the implementation, this could be a temporary user account, a temporary database, a temporary … anything.

Use Register-PSFTempProvider to define a temporary item provider.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

New-PSFTempItem -Name 'userA' -ProviderName 'aduser' -Data @{ OU = 'OU=TempUser,OU=Company,DC=Contoso,DC=com' }

Create a temporary AD user named userA. Requires a temporary item provider named aduser.
