Exporting and Importing Farm Settings via Command Line

A PowerShell interface is included in the Parallels Remote Application Server installation allowing you to export and import farm settings. One of the uses of this interface is running automated tests. Specific configurations can be created, exported, and then imported for specific test scenarios. You can also use it with Windows task scheduler for regular backups of farm settings.

2. Start the 64-bit version of PowerShell.
3. Change directory to where you extracted the archive.
4. Run the following command:
