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