Get-SCOMRunAsDistribution
Gets the distribution policy of an Operations Manager Run As account.
Syntax
Get-SCOMRunAsDistribution
[-RunAsAccount] <SecureData[]>
[-SCSession <Connection[]>]
[-ComputerName <String[]>]
[-Credential <PSCredential>]
[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Get-SCOMRunAsDistribution cmdlet gets the distribution policy of a System Center 2016 - Operations Manager Run As account. Distribution policies determine which computers receive a Run As account credential.
Due to the default formatting behavior of Windows PowerShell, the console does not always display the list of approved distribution computers. To see the full list, save the output of this cmdlet to a variable, then inspect the SecureDistribution property of the SCOMRunAsDistribution object that is stored in the variable.
Examples
Example 1: Get the distribution policy for an account
PS C:\>Get-SCOMRunAsAccount "Contoso\Administrator" | Get-SCOMRunAsDistributionThis command displays the distribution policy for the Contoso\Administrator account.
Example 2: Get systems approved for distribution in a distribution policy
PS C:\>Get-SCOMRunAsAccount "Contoso\Administrator" | Get-SCOMRunAsDistribution | Tee-Object -Variable Distribution
PS C:\> $Distribution.SecureDistributionThis example displays the distribution policy for an account and lists the systems that are approved for distribution.
The first command gets the Contoso\Administrator account and passes that account to the Get-SCOMRunAsDistribution by using the pipeline operator.
The command uses the pipeline operator to pass the distribution policy to the Tee-Object cmdlet, which displays it to the console, as well as saving it in the $Distribution variable.
For more information, type Get-Help Tee-Object.
The second command displays the systems approved for distribution.
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 started on the computer. If you do not specify a computer, the cmdlet uses the computer for the current management group connection.

Specifies the user account under which the management group connection runs.
Specify a PSCredential object, such as one that the Get-Credential cmdlet returns, for this parameter.
