Set-JCPolicy updates existing JumpCloud Policies in an organization by PolicyID or PolicyName. JumpCloud policies can be updated in three different ways. The New/Set-JCPolicy functions each have a dynamic set of parameters specific to each policy template, this dynamic set of parameters is generated after specifying a valid TemplateID or PolicyName. New/Set-JCPolicy functions can also be set through a valid value parameter which is specific to each template policy. Lastly, New/Set-JCPolicy functions can be set through a guided interface.

PolicyIDs or PolicyNames are required to identify which JumpCloud Policy to be built. TemplateIDs can be found by looking at the JumpCloud Console URL on existing policies or running Get-JCpolicy -Name "Some Policy Name to get the policy by ID. PolicyNames can be specified if you know the name of a policy you wish to update or by running Get-JCpolicy -Name "Some Policy Name to get the policy by Name

Set-JCPolicy can display the available parameters per policy if a PolicyName or PolicyID is specified. Tab actions display the available dynamic parameters available per function. For example, Set-JCPolicy -PolicyName "macOS - Login Window Policy" -*tab* where the tab key is pressed in place of *tab*, would display available parameters specific to the macOS - Login Window Policy policy. Dynamic parameters for policies are displayed after the Name and Values parameters, and are generally camelCase strings like LoginwindowText.

Set-JCPolicy -PolicyID <String> [-NewName <String>] [-Values <Object[]>]
 [<CommonParameters>]

Set-JCPolicy -PolicyName <String> [-NewName <String>] [-Values <Object[]>]
 [<CommonParameters>]

Set-JCPolicy allows for the update of existing JumpCloud Policies via the JumpCloud PowerShell Module.

PS C:\>  Set-JCPolicy -PolicyName "macOS - Login Window Policy" -LoginwindowText "Welcome to JumpCloud"

This would update the policy named macOS - Login Window Policy with the login window text set to Welcome to JumpCloud.

PS C:\>  Set-JCPolicy -PolicyID 643980a06ab0390001b5977c -LoginwindowText "Welcome to JumpCloud" -NewName "macOS Login Window Policy Welcome"

This would update the macOS Login Window Text policy (the id of that policy is 643980a06ab0390001b5977c) with the login window text set to Welcome to JumpCloud the policy would be renamed to macOS Login Window Policy Welcome.

PS C:\>  Set-JCPolicy -PolicyName "macOS - Login Window Policy"

         0 Set Text Displayed At Login Window Welcome to JumpCloud Optional text to display on the login window.

Please enter the string value for the LoginwindowText setting: Welcome To JumpCloud!!!

This would update the policy named macOS - Login Window Policy interactively. In the example above, the interactive output is displayed. Pressing Enter after typing Welcome To JumpCloud!!! would update the policy with the login text changed from Welcome To JumpCloud to Welcome To JumpCloud!!!.

PS C:\>  $policyValue = @{'configFieldID'='5ade0cfd1f24754c6c5dc9f3';'value'='Welcome To JumpCloud'}
PS C:\>  Set-JCPolicy -PolicyName "macOS - Login Window Policy" -Values $policyValue

This would update the policy named macOS - Login Window Policy with the login window text set to Welcome to JumpCloud. The policy values are set using the values parameter. Objects passed into the values parameter set must contain the value for the policy config field and a configFieldID. To get a policy value object, search for any existing policy using Get-JCPolicy the values object returned from that cmdlet will contain the config fields required to build new policies or edit existing ones.

PS C:\>  Set-JCPolicy -PolicyName "Windows - Imported Custom Registry Settings" -RegistryFile "/path/to/registryFile.reg"

This command would append the registry policy's existing values with the imported set of .Reg keys specified by the "RegistryFile" parameter. .Reg files will be converted and uploaded to the JumpCloud policy as long as they contain "DWORD", "EXPAND_SZ", "MULTI_SZ", "SZ" or "QWORD" type data.

PS C:\>  Set-JCPolicy -PolicyName "Windows - Imported Custom Registry Settings" -RegistryFile "/path/to/registryFile.reg" -RegistryOverwrite

This command would overwrite the registry policy's existing values with the imported set of .Reg keys specified by the "RegistryFile" parameter. .Reg files will be converted and uploaded to the JumpCloud policy as long as they contain "DWORD", "EXPAND_SZ", "MULTI_SZ", "SZ" or "QWORD" type data.
