If the environment variable does not exist, the environment variable is created, and the value will be added. If the environment variable already exist, and the value differs, then the value will be changed. .PARAMETER Name The name of the environment variable to create or modify. .PARAMETER Value The value to set on the environment variable. .PARAMETER Target The scope to set the environment variable. Can be set to either the 'Machine', the 'Process' or both. Default value is 'Machine'. { Process | Machine } .EXAMPLE xEnvironment_CreateNonPathVariableConfig -Name 'TestVariable' -Value 'TestValue' -Target @('Process', 'Machine') Compiles a configuration that creates the environment variable 'TestVariable' and sets the value to 'TestValue' both on the machine scope and within the process scope. .EXAMPLE $configurationParameters = @{ Name = 'TestVariable' Value = 'TestValue' Target = @('Process', 'Machine') } Start-AzureRmAutomationDscCompilationJob -ResourceGroupName '<resource-group>' -AutomationAccountName '<automation-account>' -ConfigurationName 'xEnvironment_CreateNonPathVariableConfig' -Parameters $configurationParameters Compiles a configuration in Azure Automation that creates the environment variable 'TestVariable' and sets the value to 'TestValue' both on the machine scope and within the process scope.
