Description

Note
Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
Examples
Example 1: Approve a request for a specific application
PS XYZ:\>Approve-CMApprovalRequest -Id "ScopeId_2A11048C-917A-4C11-9E77-7DCC402F30EC/Application_426dfca1-0cc0-4aa3-85f8-3cd1b184d494/1"
This command approves a request from a user to install an application specified by its ID.
Example 2: Approve a request for a specific user
PS XYZ:\>Approve-CMApprovalRequest -Application "Test" -User "tsqa\davidchew" -Comment "Request approved."
This command approves a request for an application named Test for the specified user. The command includes a comment.
Example 3: Approve a request by using a variable
PS XYZ:\> $Approval = Get-CMApprovalRequest -Id "ScopeId_2A11048C-917A-4C11-9E77-7DCC402F30EC/Application_d047e945-d6af-46f4-910f-ed36c880ae06/1"
PS XYZ:\> Approve-CMApprovalRequest -InputObject $Approval -Comment "Request approved."
The first command gets an approval request for a specified application ID and stores it in the variable $Approval.
The second command accepts the request stored in $Approval. The command includes a comment.
