Description

The Disable-SbecBcd cmdlet disables the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) /event flag. This operation has no effect on the current connections; you must reboot the computer for the settings to take effect.

You can apply these changes to the local computer, to a remote computer, or to an offline disk image.

To operate on a local computer, specify the Local parameter. Enabling forwarding on the computer that runs the Collector service makes sense only if it sends the data to a Collector on a different computer. Otherwise, the in-kernel module is not able to connect to the Collector. However, you can copy the PowerShell BootEventCollector module to the other computers, where you can use it for local configuration.

To operate on a remote computer, specify either the ComputerName or Session parameter. Windows PowerShell remoting is used to perform the remote operations.

To operate on an offline (WIM or VHD) image, use the Path parameter. WIM images do not normally contain the BCD files, and there is rarely a need to replace them there. Instead, Windows Setup creates the BCD settings when it extracts the image from WIM to the hard drive.

Examples

Example 1: Disable BCD 

PS C:\> Disable-SbecBcd -Session $MyPSSession

This command disables the BCD settings on a remote session.

Required Parameters

-ComputerName

Specifies the names of the computers on which you want to perform the operation. You can specify a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), a NetBIOS name, or an IP address for each computer. For more information, see Invoke-CimMethod on TechNet.

Type: String[]
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Local

Indicates that this operation occurs on the local computer. This mode also allows the extra control over the BCD store of where the settings are applied.

Type: SwitchParameter
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Path

Specifies the list of full paths to the offline Windows image files (WIM or VHD) to which to apply the settings. If a WIM file contains multiple images, all of them are modified.

Type: String[]
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Session

Specifies the PSSession objects connected to the remote target computers. Enter a session object, such as the output of the Get-PSSession or New-PSSession cmdlet, or an array of these objects.

Type: PSSession[]
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

Optional Parameters

-BcdStore

Specifies the full path of the BCD store.

Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Credential

Specifies a user account that has permission to perform this action. The default is the current user.

Type: PSCredential
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-DismLogPath

Specifies the path of the file for the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) log when mounting images.

Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Id

Specifies the ID of the entry to disable, without the curly braces.

The BCD settings may contain entries for multiple boot images (when a computer has multiple operating system versions installed). When the settings for an operating system other than the currently running one (or the default operating system in an offline image) must be modified, you can use this parameter to select the entry.

Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

Inputs

None.

Outputs

None.
