[<CommonParameters>]Description
The Get-SCOMAgent cmdlet gets the agent-managed computers in a management group. You can specify the DNSHostName parameter to get the agent-managed computers on a Domain Name System (DNS) host, or you can specify the ManagementServer parameter to get all the child agent-managed computers for a primary management server.
Examples
Example 1: Get all agents in the management group
PS C:\>Get-SCOMAgent -ComputerName "Server01.Contoso.Com"This command establishes a temporary connection with the computer named Server01 and gets all agents in the management group.
Example 2: Get the agents managed by a management server
PS C:\>$MgmtServer = Get-SCOMManagementServer "MgmtServer01.Contoso.com"
PS C:\> Get-SCOMAgent -ManagementServer $MgmtServerThis 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.
Example 3: Get agents in a management group by using the agent name
PS C:\>Get-SCOMAgent -DNSHostName "server01.contoso.com", "Server02*", "*.Contoso.com"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.
Example 4: Get all agents in a domain
PS C:\>Get-SCOMAgent -DNSHostName "*.Contoso.com" -ComputerName "Server01.Contoso.com"This command establishes a temporary connection with the computer named Server01.Contoso.com and gets all agents in the Contoso.com domain.
