Description

The Set-CMDiscoveryMethod cmdlet changes configuration settings of a discovery method. Discovery identifies computer and user resources that Configuration Manager can manage. When Configuration Manager discovers a resource, Configuration Manager creates a record in the Configuration Manager database for the resource and its associated information. You can then use the discovery information to help you to install the Configuration Manager client and create custom queries and collections to logically group resources for related management tasks.

Note

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

Examples

Example 1: Modify network discovery

PS XYZ:\> Set-CMDiscoveryMethod -NetworkDiscovery -SiteCode "CM4" -Enabled $True -NetworkDiscoveryType ToplogyAndClient -SlowNetworkSpeed $True

This command modifies network discovery for the site that has the site code CM4. The command specifies topology and client network discovery and the slow network speed option. The command also enables discovery.

Example 2: Modify Active Directory system discovery

PS XYZ:\> $Schedule = New-CMSchedule -RecurInterval Minutes -Start "2012/10/20 00:00:00" -End "2013/10/20 00:00:00" -RecurCount 10
PS XYZ:\> Set-CMDiscoveryMethod -ActiveDirectorySystemDiscovery -SiteCode "CM4" -AddAdditionalAttribute "331", "431", "134" -DeltaDiscoveryIntervalMinutes 8 -Enabled $True -EnableDeltaDiscovery $True -EnableFilteringExpiredLogon $True -PollingSchedule $Schedule -RemoveAdditionalAttribute "123","cn" -TimeSinceLastLogonDays 80

The first command creates a schedule object by using the New-CMSchedule cmdlet and stores it in the $Schedule variable.

The second command enables the computer discovery for the site that has the site code CM4. The command specifies the schedule object stored in the $Schedule variable as the polling schedule and enables delta discovery to find new and modified computers since the last discovery. The command specifies that delta discovery takes place every 8 minutes.

The second command also limits the computers found to those that a user has logged onto in the last 80 days. Also, the command adds and removes specified attributes from the attributes used to limit computers.

Example 3: Modify forest discovery

PS XYZ:\> $Schedule = New-CMSchedule -RecurInterval Minutes -Start "2012/10/20 00:00:00" -End "2013/10/20 00:00:00" -RecurCount 10
PS XYZ:\> Set-CMDiscoveryMethod -ActiveDirectoryForestDiscovery -SiteCode "CM4" -EnableActiveDirectorySiteBoundaryCreation $True -Enabled $True  -EnableSubnetBoundaryCreation $True -PollingSchedule $Schedule

The first command creates a schedule object by using the New-CMSchedule cmdlet, and then stores it in the $Schedule variable.

The second command enables this discovery site that has the site code CM4. The command specifies the schedule object stored in the $Schedule variable as the polling interval and enables Active Directory boundary creation and subnet boundary creation.

Example 4: Enable heartbeat discovery

PS XYZ:\> $Schedule = New-CMSchedule -RecurInterval Minutes -Start "2012/10/20 00:00:00" -End "2013/10/20 00:00:00" -RecurCount 10
PS XYZ:\> Set-CMDiscoveryMethod -Heartbeat -SiteCode "CM4" -Enabled $True -PollingSchedule $Schedule

The first command creates a schedule object by using the New-CMSchedule cmdlet and stores it in the $Schedule variable.

The second command enables heartbeat discovery and specifies the object stored in the $Schedule variable as the polling schedule for the site that has the site code CM4.
