[<CommonParameters>] Description
The New-CMSecondarySite cmdlet creates a secondary site. For more information, see Prepare to install Configuration Manager sites.
Note
Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
Examples
Example 1: Create a secondary site
This first command creates a SQL Server settings object. This object specifies that Microsoft SQL Server Express is copied to a Configuration Manager secondary site. The command stores the object in the $CIObj variable.
The second command creates a secondary site named Contoso remote site that has the site code CM2 on the server named server2.corp.contoso.com. The command specifies the SQL Server settings object for the secondary sited stored in $CIObj. The command specifies the primary site for the secondary site that has the site code CM1.
$CIObj = New-CMSqlServerSetting -CopySqlServerExpressOnSecondarySite
