[<CommonParameters>]Description
The New-SCADConnector cmdlet creates a Service Manager Active Directory connector.
The following parameters are only available if you have applied Service Manager 2012 R2 Update Rollup 6 or later versions.
- ScheduleDay
- ScheduleHour
Examples
Example 1: Create a connector to the local domain
PS C:\>$RunAsAccount = Get-SCSMRunAsAccount -DisplayName "Workflow Account"
PS C:\> $Credential = Get-Credential
PS C:\> New-SCADConnector -DisplayName "Contoso AD Connector" -Description "Contoso AD Connector" -QueryRoot "LDAP://DC=Contoso,DC=com" -RunAsAccount $RunAsAccount -ADCredential $Credential -Enable $False -ScheduleDay Sunday -ScheduleHour 3The first command gets a Run As account for Workflow Account by using the Get-SCSMRunAsAccount cmdlet. The command stores the result in the $RunAsAccount variable.
The second command prompts you for credentials by using the Get-Credential cmdlet, and then stores the credentials in the $Credential variable.
The final command creates an Active Directory connector to the local domain, which retrieves all computers, printers, users, and user groups. The connector is configured to synchronize every Sunday at 3:00 A.M.
Example 2: Create a connector to the local domain that includes a user filter
PS C:\>$RunAsAccount = Get-SCSMRunAsAccount -DisplayName "Workflow Account"
PS C:\> $Credential = Get-Credential
PS C:\> New-SCADConnector -DisplayName "Contoso AD Connector" -Description "Contoso users starting with E" -QueryRoot "LDAP://DC=Contoso,DC=com" -RunAsAccount $RunAsAccount -ADCredential $Credential -Enable $False -UserFilter "(givenname=E*)"The first command gets a Run As account for Workflow Account, and then stores it in the $RunAsAccount variable.
The second command prompts you for credentials by using the Get-Credential cmdlet, and then stores the credentials in the $Credential variable.
The final command creates an Active Directory connector to the local domain which retrieves only the user accounts that start with the letter E.
