Module:

Creates a new boundary group.

Syntax

New-CMBoundaryGroup
   [-AddSiteSystemServer <IResultObject[]>]
   [-AddSiteSystemServerName <String[]>]
   [-DefaultSiteCode <String>]

   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The New-CMBoundaryGroup cmdlet creates a new boundary group. A boundary group is a collection of boundaries.

You can use boundary groups to manage network locations. You must assign boundaries to boundary groups before you can use the boundary group. Boundary groups enable client computers to find a primary site for client assignment, which is referred to as automatic site assignment, and a list of available site systems that have content. For more information about boundaries, see Planning for Boundaries and Boundary Groups in Configuration Manager and the New-CMBoundary cmdlet.

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 a new boundary group

This example creates a new boundary group. After the new boundary group is created, the command displays an unpopulated list of boundary properties. To refresh and see a populated list, use the Get-CMBoundaryGroup cmdlet.

New-CMBoundaryGroup -Name "BGroup05"

Parameters

  • FastLink

For example: @{"Server01.contoso.com" = "FastLink"}

Important: Starting in version 1610, FastLink is the only supported value for the hash table.
