Export-BinaryMiLog
Creates a binary encoded representation of an object or objects and stores it in a file.
Syntax
Default (Default)
Export-BinaryMiLog
[-InputObject <CimInstance>]
[-Path] <String>
[<CommonParameters>]
Description
The Export-BinaryMILog cmdlet creates a binary-based representation of an object or objects and
stores it in a file. You can then use the Import-BinaryMiLog cmdlet to re-create the saved object
based on the contents of that file.
This cmdlet is similar to Import-Clixml, except that Export-BinaryMILog stores the resulting
object in a binary encoded file.
Examples
Example 1 - Create a binary representation of CimInstances
Get-CimInstance Win32_Process | Export-BinaryMiLog -Path "Processes.bmil"
This command exports CimInstances to a binary MI log file specified by the Path parameter. See the example for Import-BinaryMiLog to see how to recreate the CimInstances by importing this file.
Parameters
-InputObject
Specifies the input to this cmdlet. You can use this parameter, or you can pipe the input to this cmdlet.
