Description

The Get-SCXAgent cmdlet retrieves the managed UNIX and Linux computers that match the provided selection criteria. If no selection criteria are specified, all managed UNIX and Linux computers in the management group are returned.

Results are returned as an array of managed UNIX and Linux computer objects.

Examples

Example 1: Return managed UNIX and Linux computers

PS C:\>Get-SCXAgent

This command returns all managed UNIX and Linux computers in the resource pool.

Example 2: Return managed UNIX and Linux computers from a resource pool

PS C:\>$ResourcePool = Get-SCOMResourcePool -DisplayName "pool01"
PS C:\> Get-SCXAgent -ResourcePool $ResourcePool

The first command gets a resource pool by using the Get-SCOMResourcePool cmdlet, and stores it in the $ResourcePool variable.

The second command returns all managed UNIX and Linux computers for the resource pool in $ResourcePool.

Example 3: Return managed UNIX and Linux computers by using the name

PS C:\>Get-SCXAgent -Name "nx1.contoso.com,nx2.*","*.development.contoso.com"

This command returns managed UNIX and Linux computers with names that match a provided list of strings.

Example 4: Return managed UNIX and Linux computers by using the pipeline

PS C:\>"server1", "server2", "server3" | Get-SCXAgent

This command provides the Name parameter through the pipeline.

Example 5: Connect to a resource pool and get a managed computer by name

PS C:\>Get-SCXAgent -Name "*development.contoso.com" -ComputerName "server1.contoso.com"

This command connects to a resource pool with a temporary connection, by using the current user's credentials, and returns only the managed computers that match the Name property.

Parameters

-ComputerName

Specifies an array of names of computers. The cmdlet establishes temporary connections with management groups for these computers. You can use NetBIOS names, IP addresses, or fully qualified domain names (FQDNs). To specify the local computer, type the computer name, localhost, or a dot (.).

The System Center Data Access service must be active on the computer. If you do not specify a computer, the cmdlet uses the computer for the current management group connection.

Type:String[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Credential

Specifies the user account under which the management group connection runs. Specify a PSCredential object, such as one that the Get-Credential cmdlet returns, for this parameter. For more information about credential objects, type Get-Help Get-Credential.

If you specify a computer in the ComputerName parameter, use an account that has access to that computer. The default is the current user.

Type:PSCredential
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ID

Specifies the ID of a managed UNIX or Linux computer object. Returns only the only managed computers with ID properties that match this value. This parameter is accepted from the pipeline.

Type:Guid[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Name

Specifies a list of fully qualified domain names for one or more managed UNIX and Linux computers. Returns only the managed computers that match the Name property.

You can include wildcards, in which case all computers matching the wildcard are returned. For information about using wildcards, type Get-Help About_Wildcards.

This parameter is accepted from the pipeline.

Type:String[]
Aliases:DisplayName
Position:1
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ResourcePool

Specifies a resource pool of servers, one of which is assigned to be the current management server and the other serving as backup management servers. This parameter requires a resource pool object and returns only the managed computers in that resource pool.

For information about how to get a SCOMResourcePool object, type Get-Help Get-SCOMResourcePool.

Type:ManagementServicePool
Aliases:RP
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-SCSession

Specifies an array of Connection objects. To get Connection objects, use the Get-SCOMManagementGroupConnection cmdlet.

If this parameter is not specified, the cmdlet uses the active persistent connection to a management group. Use the SCSession parameter to specify a different persistent connection. You can create a temporary connection to a management group by using the ComputerName and Credential parameters. For more information, type Get-Help about_OpsMgr_Connections.

Type:Connection[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

Outputs

Microsoft.Unix.Computer[]

This cmdlet returns one or more Computer objects that represent managed UNIX and Linux computers when the UNIX and Linux computers match input criteria.
