PS C:\> Set-RdsRemoteApp -TenantName "contoso" -HostPoolName "contosoHostPool" -AppGroupName "webApps" -Name "internetExplorerContosoWebApp" -FriendlyName "Contoso Web App v2"

TenantGroupName     : Default Tenant Group
TenantName          : contoso
HostPoolName        : contosoHostPool
AppGroupName        : webApps

RequiredCommandLine :
ShowInWebFeed       : True
