Examples
Example 1: Update the description of a policy definition
PS C:\> $PolicyDefinition = Get-AzureRmPolicyDefinition -Name 'VMPolicyDefinition'
PS C:\> Set-AzureRmPolicyDefinition -Id $PolicyDefinition.ResourceId -Description 'Updated policy to not allow virtual machine creation'The first command gets a policy definition named VMPolicyDefinition by using the Get-AzureRmPolicyDefinition cmdlet. The command stores that object in the $PolicyDefinition variable. The second command updates the description of the policy definition identified by the ResourceId property of $PolicyDefinition.
Example 2: Update the mode of a policy definition
PS C:\> Set-AzureRmPolicyDefinition -Name 'VMPolicyDefinition' -Mode 'All'This command updates the policy definition named VMPolicyDefinition by using the Set-AzureRmPolicyDefinition cmdlet to set its mode property to 'All'.
