Add-SCPXEServer

Adds an existing Windows Deployment Services computer to VMM.

Syntax

Add-SCPXEServer
   [-VMMServer <ServerConnection>]
   [-ComputerName] <String>
   -Credential <VMMCredential>
   [-RunAsynchronously]
   [-PROTipID <Guid>]
   [-JobVariable <String>]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Add-SCPXEServer cmdlet installs a Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) agent on an existing Windows Deployment Services computer and creates a PXEServer object for that computer in the Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) database.

Examples

Example 1: Add a PXE server to VMM

PS C:\> $Credential = Get-SCRunAsAccount -Name "RunAsAcct01"
PS C:\> Add-SCPXEServer -ComputerName "WDSServer01.Contoso.com" -Credential $Credential

The first command gets the Run As account object named RunAsAccount01 and stores the object in the $Credential variable. The account must have local Administrator permissions on the PXE server.

The second command adds the PXE server named WDSServer01 using the Run As account stored in $Credential.
