Detailed Description

The Get-SCOMDiscovery cmdlet gets System Center 2012 – Operations Manager discoveries. Specify a display name, ID, name, management pack, or class for a discovery. For the name and display name, you can use wildcards.

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.

Parameters

-ComputerName<String[]>

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 (.).

You must run the System Center Data Access service on the target computer before you use this cmdlet. If you do not specify a computer, the cmdlet uses the computer for the current management group connection.
