+# Configuring Advanced Settings by Using Windows PowerShell
+
+
+The MED-V workspace package that you create includes a Windows PowerShell script (.ps1) file that you can edit before you test and deploy your MED-V workspace package. This section provides information and guidance to help you manage MED-V configuration settings by using Windows PowerShell before you deploy the MED-V workspaces.
+
+## Using Windows PowerShell Cmdlets in MED-V
+
+
+The following Windows PowerShell cmdlets are available in Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V) 2.0:
+
+**New-MedvConfiguration**
+
+**Export-MedvConfiguration**
+
+**New-MedvWorkspace**
+
+**Export-MedvWorkspace**
+
+To access Windows PowerShell cmdlets for MED-V, open Windows PowerShell and type the following command to import the MED-V modules.
+
+``` syntax
+Import-Module microsoft.medv
+```
+
+After the modules are imported, you can access inline help for the cmdlets by using the standard Windows PowerShell Help commands, **man** or **get-help**. For example, to access a description of the **New-MedvConfiguration** cmdlet including a complete list of available parameters, type the following command.
+
+``` syntax
+get-help New-MedvConfiguration
+```
+
+You can also view help for specific parameters. For example, to view help for the parameter VmMemory, type the following:
+
+``` syntax
+get-help New-MedvConfiguration -parameter VmMemory
+```
+
+To view a list of all MED-V configuration settings and their defaults, type the following command.
+
+``` syntax
+New-MedvConfiguration -ForceDefaults
+```
+
+To view a list of all MED-V configuration settings and their current values, type the following command.
+
+``` syntax
+gwmi -Class "Setting” -Namespace "root/microsoft/medv”
+```
+
+## Creating a MED-V Workspace with Custom Settings
+
+
+After you successfully create a MED-V workspace package by using the MED-V Workspace Packager, a Windows PowerShell script is generated in the folder you specified for saving your packager files. The contents of this script show some of the available MED-V configuration settings that you can edit.
+
+Following these steps, you can customize the script and then run it in Windows PowerShell to create a MED-V workspace with the new settings.
+
+**Important**  
+Run Windows PowerShell with administrative credentials, and ensure that the Windows PowerShell execution policy allows the running of scripts.
+
+1.  Edit the Windows PowerShell script that was generated by the MED-V Workspace Packager, or author a new script with the configuration settings that you want.
+
+2.  Run Windows PowerShell with administrative credentials and at the command prompt, type the following command.
+
+    ``` syntax
+    & “.\<workspacename>.ps1”
+    ```
+
+    This command runs the Windows PowerShell script and runs the **New-MedvWorkspace** cmdlet to generate a new MED-V workspace package. The new packager files are saved in the folder that you originally specified for storing your MED-V Workspace Packager files. For additional help about this cmdlet, see the Windows PowerShell Help.
+
+ 
+
+## Exporting a MED-V Configuration to a Registry File
+
+
+You can update MED-V configuration settings after the MED-V workspace is installed. Use the **New-MedvConfiguration** cmdlet to specify the parameters that you want to change. For example, to create a registry file that changes the virtual machine memory setting, type the following commands.
+
+``` syntax
+New-MedvConfiguration  -VmMemory 1024 | Export-MedvConfiguration -Path c:\medvConfiguration\myConfig.reg
+```
+
+You can import the resultant registry file from the host computer to a MED-V workspace to apply the new configuration settings.
