Public/Set-TraverseDevice.ps1

function Set-TraverseDevice {
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Update the configuration of a device. Currently this only supports some basic descriptive information.
 
.NOTES
This is a wrapper around the Device.Update FlexAPI command http://help.kaseya.com/webhelp/EN/tv/7000000/dev/index.asp#30181.htm
Supports Common Parameters -Whatif and -Confirm
 
.PARAMETER TraverseDevice
A Traverse Device, represented as a Traverse deviceStatus object.
 
.PARAMETER NewDeviceName
Rename a device. THIS IS DANGEROUS IF USED ON THE PIPELINE AND YOU CAN ACCIDENTALLY SET A LOT OF DEVICES TO THE SAME NAME. Please be careful with this parameter
 
.EXAMPLE
PS C:\> Get-TraverseDevice | Set-TraverseDevice -Comment
Set the description for all devices to "this is a test" (remove the -whatif to do it for real)
