RE: Updating Storage Areas with "Get-PWStorageAreaList" and "Update-PWStorage"

Bentley has the properties in the object returned as read-only. You can tell because:

> $storage | get-member


   TypeName: Bentley.ProjectWise.PowerShell.Common.Storage

Name        MemberType Definition
----        ---------- ----------
Equals      Method     bool Equals(System.Object obj)
GetHashCode Method     int GetHashCode()
GetType     Method     type GetType()
ToString    Method     string ToString()
Description Property   string Description {get;}
Host        Property   string Host {get;}
ID          Property   int ID {get;}
Name        Property   string Name {get;}
Path        Property   string Path {get;}
Protocol    Property   string Protocol {get;}
StorageID   Property   int StorageID {get;}

all the properties are listed as {get;} if you could change them they would be listed as {get;set;}

Not sure it'll work but you can try making your own object with the same properties and feed that back into Update-PWStorage:

$new_storage = [pscustomobject]@{
    ID=$storage.ID
    Name=$storage.Name
    Description=$storage.Description
    Host=$storage.Host
    Path=$storage.Path
    Protocol=$storage.Protocol
    StorageID=$storage.StorageID
}

# change values for update
$new_storage.host = 'new-value'
