Detailed Description

The Get-SCXAgent cmdlet retrieves the managed UNIX and Linux computers that match the provided selection criteria. If no selection criteria are specified, all managed UNIX and Linux computers in the management group are returned.

Results are returned as an array of managed UNIX and Linux computer objects.

Parameters

-ComputerName<String[]>

Specifies the name of a computer to establish a connection with. The computer must be running the System Center Data Access Service. The default value is the computer for the current management group connection. Valid formats include a NetBIOS name, an IP address, or a fully qualified domain name. To specify the local computer, type the computer name, "localhost", or a dot (.).

-Credential<PSCredential>

Specifies a user account under which the management group connection will run. The default is the current user. Type a user name, such as "User01", "Domain01\User01", or "User@Domain.com", or enter a PSCredential object, such as one returned by the Get-Credential cmdlet. When you type a user name, you are prompted for a password. For more information, type Get-Help Get-Credential.

-ID<Guid[]>

Specifies the ID of a managed UNIX or Linux computer object. Returns only the only managed computers with ID properties that match this value. This parameter is accepted from the pipeline.

-Name<String[]>

Specifies a list of fully qualified domain names for one or more managed UNIX and Linux computers. Returns only the managed computers that match the Name property.

You can include wildcards, in which case all computers matching the wildcard are returned. For information about using wildcards, type Get-Help About_Wildcards.

This parameter is accepted from the pipeline.

-ResourcePool<ManagementServicePool>

Specifies a resource pool of servers, one of which is assigned to be the current management server and the other serving as backup management servers. This parameter requires a resource pool object and returns only the managed computers in that resource pool.

For information about how to get a SCOMResource Pool object, type Get-Help Get-SCOMResourcePool.

-SCSession<Connection[]>

Specifies a management group connection to use instead of the default connection.

For more information, type Get-Help Get-ManagementGroupConnection.
