Description

The Get-SCOMClassInstance cmdlet gets one or more class instances. A class represents a kind of object, and every object in System Center - Operations Manager is considered an instance of a particular class. All instances of a class share a common set of properties.

By default, this 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.

Examples

Example 1: Gets class instances by using a display name

PS C:\>Get-SCOMClassInstance -Displayname "Server01.Contoso.Com", "*.contoso.com"

This command gets the class instance that has the display name Server01.Contoso.Com and the class instances in the contoso.com domain.

Example 2: Gets class instances by using a name

PS C:\>Get-SCOMClass -Name "*Windows*" | Get-SCOMClassInstance

This command gets class instances of classes. The command uses the Get-SCOMClass to get all classes that have "Windows" in their name, and passes the result to the Get-SCOMClassInstance cmdlet by using the pipeline operator. The command gets the class instances for the classes that have Windows in their name.

Example 3: Gets class instances by using an Id

PS C:\>Get-SCOMClassInstance -Id 7413b06b-a95b-4ae3-98f2-dac9ff76dabd

This command gets the class instance that has an Id of 7413b06b-a95b-4ae3-98f2-dac9ff76dabd.
