Examples

Example 1: Get all agents in the management group

This command establishes a temporary connection with the computer named Server01 and gets all agents in the management group.

PS C:\> Get-SCOMAgent -ComputerName "Server01.Contoso.Com"

Example 2: Get the agents managed by a management server

This example gets agent-managed computers that are managed by a management server.

The first command gets the management server object named MgmtServer01.Contoso.com and stores the object in the $MgmtServer variable.

The second command gets the agents that are managed by the management server stored in $MgmtServer.

PS C:\> $MgmtServer = Get-SCOMManagementServer "MgmtServer01.Contoso.com"
PS C:\> Get-SCOMAgent -ManagementServer $MgmtServer

Example 3: Get agents in a management group by using the agent name

This command gets agents that are named server01.contoso.com, that have a name that begins with Server02, and that are in the Contoso.com domain.

PS C:\> Get-SCOMAgent -DNSHostName "Server01.Contoso.com", "Server02*", "*.Contoso.com"

Example 4: Get all agents in a domain

This command establishes a temporary connection with the computer named Server01.Contoso.com and gets all agents in the Contoso.com domain.
