[<CommonParameters>] Description
The New-SqlAvailabilityGroupListener cmdlet creates an availability group listener, and attaches it to an availability group. Run this cmdlet on the server instance that hosts the primary replica.
Examples
Example 1: Create a listener for an availability group
PS C:\> New-SqlAvailabilityGroupListener -Name "MainListener" -Path "SQLSERVER:\SQL\PrimaryServer\InstanceName\AvailabilityGroups\MainAG"This command creates an availability group listener named 'MainListener' for the availability group named 'MainAG'. This listener acquires a virtual IP address by using DHCP. Run this command on the server instance that hosts the primary replica.
Example 2: Create a listener for an availability group that has a nondefault port
PS C:\> New-SqlAvailabilityGroupListener -Name "MainListener" -Path "SQLSERVER:\SQL\PrimaryServer\InstanceName\AvailabilityGroups\MainAG" -Port 1434This command creates an availability group listener named 'MainListener' for the availability group named 'MainAG'. As in the previous example, this listener acquires a virtual IP address by using DHCP. This example assigns the port 1434 on which it listens.
Example 3: Create a listener for an availability group that uses DHCP
PS C:\> New-SqlAvailabilityGroupListener -Name "MainListener" -DhcpSubnet "192.169.0.1/255.255.252.0" -Path "SQLSERVER:\SQL\PrimaryServer\InstanceName\AvailabilityGroups\MainAG"This command creates an availability group listener named 'MainListener' for the availability group named 'MainAG'. This listener acquires a virtual IP address in the specified subnet by using DHCP.
Example 4: Create a listener for an availability group that uses a static address
PS C:\> New-SqlAvailabilityGroupListener -Name "MainListener" -StaticIp "192.168.3.1/255.255.252.0" -Path "SQLSERVER:\Sql\Computer\Instance\AvailabilityGroups\MainAG"This command creates an availability group listener named 'MainListener' for the availability group named 'MainAG'. This listener uses the IPv4 address specified by the StaticIp parameter as its virtual IP address.
Example 5: Create a script that creates a listener
PS C:\> New-SqlAvailabilityGroupListener -Name "MainListener" -Path "SQLSERVER:\Sql\Computer\Instance\AvailabilityGroups\MainAG" -ScriptThis command creates a Transact-SQL script that creates an availability group listener named 'MainListener' for the availability group named 'MainAG'. The command does not create a listener.
Parameters
-AccessToken
The access token used to authenticate to SQL Server, as an alternative to user/password or Windows Authentication.
This can be used, for example, to connect to SQL Azure DB and SQL Azure Managed Instance
using a Service Principal or a Managed Identity.
The parameter to use can be either a string representing the token or a PSAccessToken object as returned by running Get-AzAccessToken -ResourceUrl https://database.windows.net.
This parameter is new in v22 of the module.
| Type: | PSObject |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Aliases: | cf |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | False |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-DhcpSubnet
Specifies an IPv4 address and subnet mask of a network. The listener determines the address on this network by using DHCP. Specify the address in for following format: 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0.
If you specify this parameter, do not specify the StaticIp parameter.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Encrypt
The encryption type to use when connecting to SQL Server.
This value maps to the Encrypt property SqlConnectionEncryptOption on the SqlConnection object of the Microsoft.Data.SqlClient driver.
In v22 of the module, the default is Optional (for compatibility with v21). In v23+ of the module, the default value will be 'Mandatory', which may create a breaking change for existing scripts.
This parameter is new in v22 of the module.
| Type: | String |
| Accepted values: | Mandatory, Optional, Strict |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-HostNameInCertificate
The host name to be used in validating the SQL Server TLS/SSL certificate. You must pass this parameter if your SQL Server instance is enabled for Force Encryption and you want to connect to an instance using hostname/shortname. If this parameter is omitted then passing the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) to -ServerInstance is necessary to connect to a SQL Server instance enabled for Force Encryption.
This parameter is new in v22 of the module.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-InputObject
Specifies the availability group, as an AvailabilityGroup object, to which this cmdlet attaches the listener.
| Type: | AvailabilityGroup |
| Position: | 2 |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Name
Specifies a name for the listener.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | 1 |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Path
Specifies the path of the availability group to which this cmdlet attaches a listener. If you do not specify this parameter, this cmdlet uses current working location.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | 2 |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Port
Specifies the port on which the listener listens for connections. The default port is TCP port 1433.
| Type: | Int32 |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ProgressAction
Determines how PowerShell responds to progress updates generated by a script, cmdlet, or provider, such as the progress bars generated by the Write-Progress cmdlet. The Write-Progress cmdlet creates progress bars that show a command's status.
| Type: | ActionPreference |
| Aliases: | proga |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |

| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-StaticIp
Specifies an array of addresses. Each address entry is either an IPv4 address and subnet mask or an IPv6 address. The listener listens on the addresses that this parameter specifies.
If you specify this parameter, do not specify the DhcpSubnet parameter.
| Type: | String[] |
