Add-IpamDiscoveryDomain

Add-IpamDiscoveryDomain

Adds a new Active Directory domain to the list of domains in which IPAM discovers infrastructure servers.

Syntax

Parameter Set: Add0
Add-IpamDiscoveryDomain [-Name] <String> [-AsJob] [-CimSession <CimSession[]> ] [-DiscoverDc <Boolean> ] [-DiscoverDhcp <Boolean> ] [-DiscoverDns <Boolean> ] [-PassThru] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32> ] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Add-IpamDiscoveryDomain cmdlet adds an Active Directory discovery domain for an IP Address Management (IPAM) server. A discovery domain is a domain that IPAM searches to find infrastructure servers. An IPAM server uses the list of discovery domains to determine what type of servers to add. By default, IPAM discovers all domain controllers, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers, and Domain Name System (DNS) servers. You can specify the type of servers discovered per domain while you are adding the domain, or you can edit the same by using the Set-IpamDiscoveryDomain cmdlet.

Parameters

-AsJob

-CimSession<CimSession[]>

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

-DiscoverDc<Boolean>

Indicates whether IPAM discovers all domain controllers in a specified domain. By default, the value is True.

-DiscoverDhcp<Boolean>

Indicates whether IPAM discovers all DHCP servers in a specified domain. By default, the value is True.

-DiscoverDns<Boolean>

Indicates whether IPAM discovers all DNS servers in a specified domain. By default, the value is True.

-Name<String>

Specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the Active Directory domain that will be added to the list of domains in which IPAM will discover infrastructure servers.

-PassThru

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

-ThrottleLimit<Int32>

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.

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see    about_CommonParameters (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=113216).

Inputs

The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.

Outputs

The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.

• IpamDiscoveryDomain

  Represents an Active Directory domain in which IPAM will search for infrastructure servers.

Examples

Example 1: Add domains to the IPAM discovery domain

This command configures IPAM to discover DHCP and DNS servers in the domain named child01.contoso.com. Because the default value of DiscoverDhcp, DiscoverDns, and DiscoverDc is True, the command sets DiscoverDc to False to direct IPAM not to discover domain controllers in the domain.

PS C:\> Add-IpamDiscoveryDomain -Name child01.contoso.com -DiscoverDc $False -PassThru

Example 2: Add domain controllers, DHCP, and DNS servers to a discovery domain

This command configures IPAM to discover domain controllers, DHCP servers, and DNS servers in the child01.contoso.com domain.

PS C:\> Add-IpamDiscoveryDomain -Name child01.contoso.com -PassThru
