Powershell COM+ settings

Question

I\'m trying to set the following values with the powershell COMAdmin.COMAdminCatalog but I can\'t find the setting for the below in red. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

For the properties in question see the Authentication property and the AccessLevelChecks property for the Applications Collection under COM+ Administration Collections.

For a VBScript example on how to set the Authentication Level property see the answer to changing existing COM+ applications identity via vbs script.

It should be fairly straight forward to convert to PowerShell. Here's my guess:

$comAdmin = New-Object -comobject COMAdmin.COMAdminCatalog
$apps = $comAdmin.GetCollection("Applications")
$apps.Populate();
$app = $apps | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq "MyAppName"}

# Set Authentication to Packet Authentication
$app.Value("Authentication") = 4 

# Set Security Level to Process and Component level
$app.Value("AccessChecksLevel") = 1 

$apps.SaveChanges()

Answer 2

This was already answered, but here is my "Create New COM+ Application AND set property" script.

$comAdmin = New-Object -comobject COMAdmin.COMAdminCatalog
$apps = $comAdmin.GetCollection("Applications")
$apps.Populate();


$newComPackageName = "MyFirstCOMPackage"

$appExistCheckApp = $apps | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq $newComPackageName}

if($appExistCheckApp)
{
    $appExistCheckAppName = $appExistCheckApp.Value("Name")
    "This COM+ Application already exists : $appExistCheckAppName"
}
Else
{
    $newApp1 = $apps.Add()
    $newApp1.Value("Name") = $newComPackageName
    $newApp1.Value("ApplicationAccessChecksEnabled") = 0 <# Security Tab, Authorization Panel, "Enforce access checks for this application #>
    $saveChangesResult = $apps.SaveChanges()
    "Results of the SaveChanges operation : $saveChangesResult"
}
