Disable Multiple Pools Members At Once

Currently, members in a pool are all in the pool object and not by themselves in a sub-collection. Because of this, you'll want to read in the current pool definition, then send the whole thing back in with the edits you want to make. What you have to realize is that you're patching the whole Pool to this new state. I believe F5 in version 12 was going to change pool members to a sub-collection which would allow you to patch a member individually. I have not found a way around this yet.
