Description

The Get-SCOMGroup cmdlet gets System Center - Operations Manager groups. You can specify which groups to get by name or ID.

Because a group object is a type of class instance object, it can be passed to the Instance parameter of another cmdlet, such as the Enable-SCOMDiscovery cmdlet.

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: Get groups by using display names

PS C:\>Get-SCOMGroup -DisplayName "*Agent*","*Windows*"

This command gets all groups that have a display name that includes Agent and all groups that have a display name that includes Windows.

Example 2: Get a group by using an ID

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

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

Parameters

-ComputerName

Specifies an array of names of computers. The cmdlet establishes temporary connections with management groups for these computers. You can use NetBIOS names, IP addresses, or fully qualified domain names (FQDNs). To specify the local computer, type the computer name, localhost, or a dot (.).

The System Center Data Access service must be running on the computer. If you do not specify a computer, the cmdlet uses the computer for the current management group connection.
