Description

The Add-IpamServerInventory cmdlet adds a new infrastructure server to the IP Address Management (IPAM) server inventory. Use the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the server to add to the server inventory.

Examples

Example 1: Add a server to the IPAM server inventory

PS C:\> Add-IpamServerInventory -Name "Dhcp1.Contoso.com" -ServerType DHCP

This command adds a DHCP server named Dhcp01.Contoso.com to the IPAM server inventory.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.

For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.
