Switch an old rendering for the new.

$itemId = "{110D559F-DEA5-42EA-9C1C-8A5DF7E70EF9}"
$item = Get-Item -Path "master:" -ID $itemId
$defaultLayout = Get-LayoutDevice "Default"

$sourceRenderingId = "{37F58448-7460-4AD2-B0FB-67C85C2A49CB}"
$targetRenderingId = "{90A9C167-5714-481F-82E4-29E394D12614}"

$sourceRenderings = Get-Rendering -Item $item -Device $defaultLayout -FinalLayout |
