Cmdlets are usually implemented around resource operations. The four basic operations are CREATE, READ, UPDATE and DELETE. This set of operations is known as CRUD. Most of the cmdlets support CRUD which are respectively cmdlets that start with the New/Get/Set/Remove cmdlet verbs but they also may have additional operations.

Step 1: Run commands from the CRUD group 

You can CREATE objects by using New-LCMClusterRuleWithTransform cmdlet. See example below:

C:\PS> New-LCMClusterRuleWithTransform -Name RULE_NAME -AllHosts -LcmCluster LCM_CLUSTER_NAME -NoSignatureCheck

You can UPDATE objects by using Set-LCMClusterRuleWithTransform cmdlet. See example below:

C:\PS> Set-LCMClusterRuleWithTransform -DeployRule NAME_TEST_RULE -AllHosts -LcmCluster LCM_CLUSTER_NAME -Force
