Enable-CsComputer
Topic Last Modified: 2012-03-23
Enables new or newly-updated services or server roles on a computer running Microsoft Lync Server 2010.
Syntax
Enable-CsComputer [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-Force <SwitchParameter>] [-GlobalCatalog <Fqdn>] [-GlobalSettingsDomainController <Fqdn>] [-Report <String>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]
Detailed Description
Installing the required software does not automatically cause a computer to adopt a new service role; instead, that computer must be enabled before it actually begins to function in its new role. The Enable-CsComputer cmdlet provides a way for administrators to enable newly updated services or server roles on the local computer.
Who can run this cmdlet: You must be a local administrator and a member of the domain in order to run the Enable-CsComputer cmdlet locally.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
GlobalCatalog |
Optional |
String |
Fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of a global catalog server in your domain. This parameter is not required if you are running Enable-CsComputer on a computer with an account in your domain. |
GlobalSettingsDomainController |
Optional |
String |
FQDN of a domain controller where global settings are stored. If global settings are stored in the System container in Active Directory, then this parameter must point to the root domain controller. If global settings are stored in the Configuration container, then any domain controller can be used and this parameter can be omitted. |
Report |
Optional |
String |
Enables you to specify a file path for the log file created when the cmdlet runs. For example: -Report "C:\Logs\EnableComputer.html" |
Force |

WhatIf |
Optional |
Switch Parameter |
Describes what would happen if you executed the command without actually executing the command. |

Switch Parameter |
Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command. |

Example
-------------------------- Example 1 ------------------------
Enable-CsComputer
The command shown in Example 1 activates any new Lync Server 2010 services or server roles that have been installed on the local computer.
-------------------------- Example 2 ------------------------
Enable-CsComputer -Verbose
The preceding command also activates any new Lync Server 2010 services or server roles that have been installed on the local computer. In this case, however, the addition of the Verbose parameter ensures that a step-by-step account of the tasks being carried out by Enable-CsComputer will be reported on the screen.
