Description

The Get-SCOMLocation cmdlet gets locations. Specify locations to get by display name or ID, or by specifying associated agents, management servers, or resource pools.

You can create a location by using the New-SCOMLocation 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 a location by display name

PS C:\>Get-SCOMLocation -DisplayName "Seattle, WA"

This command gets the location that has the display name Seattle, WA.

Example 2: Get the location of an agent-managed computer

PS C:\>$Agent = Get-SCOMAgent -Name "Server01.Contoso.com"
PS C:\> Get-SCOMLocation -Agent $Agent

This example gets a location for an agent-managed computer. The first command gets the agent object for an agent-managed computer named Server01.Contoso.com and then stores the object in the $Agent variable.

The second command gets the location for the agent object stored in the $Agent variable.

Example 3: Get the location of a management server

PS C:\>$MgmtSvr = Get-SCOMManagementServer -Name "MgmtServer01.Contoso.com"
PS C:\> Get-SCOMLocation -ManagementServer $MgmtSvr

This example gets the location for a management server named MgmtServer01.Contoso.com. The first command gets the management server object for the management server named MgmtServer01.Contoso.com, and then stores the object in the $MgmtSvr variable.

The second command gets the location for the management server object stored in the $MgmtSvr variable.

Example 4: Get the location of a resource pool

PS C:\>$Pool = Get-SCOMResourcePool -Name "Pool01"
PS C:\> Get-SCOMLocation -Pool $Pool

This example gets a location for the resource pool named Pool01. The first command gets the resource pool object for the resource pool named Pool01 and stores the object in the $Pool variable.

The second command gets the location for the pool stored in the $Pool variable.

Parameters

-Agent

Specifies an array of AgentManagedComputer objects. To obtain an AgentManagedComputer object, use the Get-SCOMAgent cmdlet.

Type:	AgentManagedComputer[]
Position:	1
Default value:	None
Required:	True
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-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.

Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Credential

Specifies a PSCredential object for the management group connection. To obtain a PSCredential object, use the Get-Credential cmdlet. For more information, type Get-Help Get-Credential.

If you specify a computer in the ComputerName parameter, use an account that has access to that computer. The default is the current user.

Type:	PSCredential
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False
