Add-NMMTypeName¶

Adds a PSTypeName to objects for report template matching.

Syntax¶

Add-NMMTypeName
    -InputObject <Object>
    -TypeName <String>
    [<CommonParameters>]

Description¶

The Add-NMMTypeName cmdlet tags PSCustomObjects with an NMM.* type name so the report generator can automatically select the appropriate template. This is useful for custom data that doesn't come from NMM cmdlets.

Parameters¶

-InputObject¶

The object(s) to tag with a PSTypeName.


Type	Object
Required	True
Pipeline Input	True

-TypeName¶

The type name to add. Must start with 'NMM.' (e.g., 'NMM.HostPool').


Type	String
Required	True
Position	0
Validation	Must match pattern `^NMM\.\w+$`

Examples¶

Example 1: Tag custom data¶

$customData | Add-NMMTypeName -TypeName 'NMM.HostPool'

Example 2: Pipeline to report¶

$customPools | Add-NMMTypeName 'NMM.HostPool' |
    ConvertTo-NMMHtmlReport -Title "Custom Pools" -ShowChart -OutputPath "./custom.html"

Example 3: Custom device data¶

$devices = @(
    [PSCustomObject]@{
        deviceName = "PC001"
        complianceState = "Compliant"
        operatingSystem = "Windows"
        osVersion = "10.0.19045"
        model = "Dell OptiPlex"
        lastSyncDateTime = (Get-Date)
    }
    [PSCustomObject]@{
        deviceName = "PC002"
        complianceState = "NonCompliant"
        operatingSystem = "Windows"
        osVersion = "10.0.18363"
        model = "HP EliteDesk"
        lastSyncDateTime = (Get-Date).AddDays(-7)
    }
)

$devices | Add-NMMTypeName 'NMM.Device' |
    ConvertTo-NMMHtmlReport -Title "Custom Devices" -ShowChart -ChartType pie -OutputPath "./custom-devices.html"

Valid Type Names¶

TypeName	Template Applied
`NMM.HostPool`	Host Pool columns and donut chart
`NMM.Host`	Session Host columns and donut chart
`NMM.Device`	Intune Device columns and pie chart
`NMM.Account`	Account columns (no chart)
`NMM.User`	User columns (no chart)
`NMM.Backup`	Backup Item columns and donut chart

Outputs¶

PSCustomObject

Returns the input object with the PSTypeName added.

Notes¶

Most Get-NMM* cmdlets automatically add PSTypeNames to their output. This cmdlet is primarily for:

Custom data that matches NMM data schemas
Data from other sources that you want to format like NMM data
Manual tagging when automatic detection doesn't apply
