Description
The Enable-CMDriver cmdlet enables a device driver in Configuration Manager.
Note
Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
Examples
Example 1: Enable a driver by using the pipeline
PS XYZ:\> Get-CMDriver -Name "Driver02" | Enable-CMDriver
This command gets the driver object named Driver02 and uses the pipeline operator to pass the object to Enable-CMDriver, which enables the driver object.
Example 2: Enable a device driver that is specified by its name
PS XYZ:\> $Driver = Get-CMDriver -Name "Driver01"
PS XYZ:\> Enable-CMDriver -InputObject $Driver
The first command gets the driver object named Driver01 and stores the object in the $Driver variable.
The second command enables the driver stored in $Driver.
Parameters
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
