Description

Use this cmdlet to create a site boundary. A boundary is a network location that contains one or more devices that you can manage. A boundary can be an IP subnet, Active Directory site name, IPv6 prefix, an IP address range, or a VPN. For more information, see Define site boundaries and boundary groups.

Note

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

Examples

Example 1: Create an IP subnet site boundary

This command creates a new IP subnet site boundary that has a name of IPSubNetBoundary01 and a value of 172.16.50.0/24.

New-CMBoundary -DisplayName "IPSubNetBoundary01" -BoundaryType IPSubNet -Value "172.16.50.0/24"

Example 2: Create an Active Directory site boundary

This command creates a new Active Directory site boundary that has a name of ADSiteBoundary01 and a value of Default-First-Site-Name.

New-CMBoundary -DisplayName "ADSiteBoundary01" -BoundaryType ADSite -Value "Default-First-Site-Name"

Example 3: Create an IPv6 prefix site boundary

This command creates a new IPv6 prefix site boundary that has a name of IPv6PrefixBoundary01 and a value of FE80::/64.

New-CMBoundary -DisplayName "IPv6PrefixBoundary01" -BoundaryType IPv6Prefix -Value "FE80::/64"

Example 4: Create an IP range site boundary

This command creates a new IP range site boundary that has the name IPRangeBoundary01 and a value of 10.255.255.0-10.255.255.255.

New-CMBoundary -DisplayName "IPRangeBoundary01" -BoundaryType IPRange -Value "10.255.255.0-10.255.255.255"

Example 5: Create a VPN site boundary

This command creates a new VPN site boundary that has the name VPN-CONTOSO1-Name and a value of Name:CONTOSO1.

New-CMBoundary -DisplayName "VPN-CONTOSO1-Name" -BoundaryType VPN -Value "Name:CONTOSO1"

Parameters

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:cf
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False

-DisableWildcardHandling

This parameter treats wildcard characters as literal character values. You can't combine it with ForceWildcardHandling.

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

-ForceWildcardHandling

This parameter processes wildcard characters and may lead to unexpected behavior (not recommended). You can't combine it with DisableWildcardHandling.

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

-Name

Specify the name of the new boundary.

Type:String
