Description

The Add-CMManagementPoint cmdlet adds a management point to Configuration Manager. A management point is a Configuration Manager site system role that provides policy and service information to clients and receives configuration data from clients.

Note

Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.

Examples

Example 1: Add a management point

PS XYZ:\>Add-CMManagementPoint -SiteSystemServerName "CMDEV-TEST02.TSQA.CONTOSO.COM" -SiteCode "CM2" -ClientConnectionType InternetAndIntranet -AllowDevice $True -GenerateAlert -SQLServerFqdnName "CMDEV-TEST02.TSQA.CONTOSO.COM" -SQLServerInstanceName "MSSQLServer" -DatabaseName "test" -UserName "TSQA\MPAdmin" -Verbose

This command adds a management point to a Configuration Manager installation. The command specifies the following information about the management point:

• The new management point appears on the site system named CMDEV-TEST02.TSQA.CONTOSO.COM. This name is also the fully qualified domain name for the SQL Server instance named MSSQLServer.
• The site has code CM2.
• The management point accepts connections from internet and intranet clients and from portable devices.
• The management point has the associated database name Test.
• The management point uses the domain user account for the user named TSQA\MPAdmin.
• The cmdlet displays all messages that the addition operation generates.
