Import arsml files as an ARS policy

Hi,

 

Is there a way to import a policy that has been exported as an .arsml file using powershell? 

 

What I want to do is the following.

 

Export an existing Policy which I can use to create a template file. Then use powershell to replace XXX in the arsml file with ANR (site ID) and then use powershell to import that arsml file creating a policy in a specific OU which already has the scopes and deprovison rules contained.

    The AR SDK provides methods for programatically creating policies that obviates the need for jumping through those hoops.

    Search the SDK for Managing Policy Objects and feel free to post additional questions here once you've given that a read.

    Thanks for the reply Johnny. I found a way to do what I wanted using the new-qadobject command.

    Yes - I have used that too. You have to be careful when doing custom work not to hard-wire yourself too much into something that might get deprecated. For example, there is a policy property called edsaAPEList which is a "plain text" representation of the policy rules (as opposed to edsaAPEListXML) - the former property is technically deprecated so if you populate it the AR service may not read / use it.
