Description
The Set-DAEntryPointDC cmdlet modifies domain controller (DC) settings for entry points, and can be used to the following:
-- Assigns a DC to all entry points previously assigned to the DC specified in the ExistingDC parameter. This is useful when a DC is no longer reachable and entry points settings must be updated.
-- Assigns a DC to a specific entry point. This is useful for optimization, such as improving the Group Policy propagation time by specifying a DC that is located within the same Active Directory site as the other servers in an entry point.
Examples
EXAMPLE 1
PS C:\>Set-DAEntryPointDC -EntryPointName "Entry Point 1" -NewDC "DC3.Domain1.corp.company.com" -Force -PassThru
EntryPointName : Entry Point 1
DomainControllerName : dc3.domain1.corp.contoso.com
This example associates Entry Point 1 with the DC named dc3.domain1.corp.contoso.com.
EXAMPLE 2
PS C:\>Set-DAEntryPointDC -EntryPointName "Entry Point 1" -ComputerName "da1.domain1.corp.contoso.com" -Force -PassThru
EntryPointName : Entry Point 1
DomainControllerName : dc3.domain1.corp.contoso.com
This example automatically picks the DC named dc3.domain1.corp.contoso.com is the closest to the server named da1.domain1.corp.contoso.com and associate the DC with Entry Point 1, because the NewDC parameter is not specified.
EXAMPLE 3
PS C:\>Set-DAEntryPointDC -ExistingDC "dc1.domain1.corp.contoso.com" -NewDC "dc3.domain1.corp.contoso.com" -Force -PassThru
EntryPointName : Entry Point 1
DomainControllerName : dc3.domain1.corp.contoso.com
This example associates all of the entry points which were previously associated with the DC named dc1.domain1.corp.contoso.com with the DC named dc3.domain1.corp.contoso.com.

Specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the existing DC that will be updated.
Type: | String |
Aliases: | DomainControllerName |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | True |
Accept pipeline input: | True |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Force
Forces the command to run without asking for user confirmation.
Type: | SwitchParameter |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |

Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ThrottleLimit
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet.
If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0
is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer.
The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Outputs
The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance
object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects.
The path after the pound sign (#
) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.
The array of DADomainController objects that contains the following properties:
-- ChangeByDCName: Provides a list of entry points for which the associated DCs have been changed, and the name of the new DC. The ExistingDC parameter has a specified value. The EntryPointName parameter does not have a specified value.
-- ChangeByEntryPoint: Provides information about the specified entry point and its updated DC. The ExistingDC parameter does not have a specified value. The EntryPointName parameter has a specified value.
