The string value of the ID is in format <type>-<value> as it is in the PowerShell toolkit objects. 2. By the SPBM service contents. Returns views for all the managed objects available in the SPBM service contents.

You can retrieve the SPBM service content by fetching PbmServiceInstance view and then calling "PbmRetrieveServiceContent" on this view object.
