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.

  • None

Outputs

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

  • Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#DAEntryPoint

    The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.

Examples

Example 1

This example adds the edge server named da2.domain1.corp.contoso.com to the multi-site deployment, names the server Entry Point 2 and declares CorpNet1 as the network interface which is connected to the corporate internal network. Since the company uses IPv6 prefixes, IPHTTPS remote clients will connect via ep2.da.contoso.com using predefined prefix 3000:0:30:2000::/64.

PS C:\> Add-DAEntryPoint -Name "Entry Point 2" -InternalInterface CorpNet1 -RemoteAccessServer "da2.domain1.corp.contoso.com" -InternetInterface Internet -ClientIPv6Prefix 3000:0:30:2000::/64 -ConnectToAddress "ep2.da.contoso.com" -PassThru -Force

To validate the name of the GPO which was created by this cmdlet, the following script should be used.

PS C:\> $daServer = Get-DAServer -EntrypointName "Entry Point 2"
PS C:\> $daServer.ServerConfiguration.GpoName

In addition, running the Get-DAMultiSite cmdlet displays the newly added entry point.

PS C:\> Get-DAMultiSite

Example 2

This example adds the edge server named da2.domain1.corp.contoso.com to the multi-site deployment, names the server Entry Point 2 and declares CorpNet1 as the network interface which is connected to the corporate internal network using a pre-created GPO domain2.corp.contoso.com\EP2ServerGpo.

PS C:\> Add-DAEntryPoint -Name "Entry Point 2" -InternalInterface CorpNet1 -RemoteAccessServer "da2.domain1.corp.contoso.com" -InternetInterface Internet -ClientIPv6Prefix 3000:0:30:2000::/64 -ConnectToAddress "ep2.da.contoso.com" -ServerGpoName "domain1.corp.contoso.com\EP2ServerGpo"  -PassThru –Force

To validate, the following script should be used.

PS C:\> $daServer = Get-DAServer -EntrypointName "Entry Point 2"
PS C:\> $daServer.ServerConfiguration.GpoName

Example 3

This example adds the edge server named da2.domain1.corp.contoso.com to the multi-site deployment, names the server Entry Point 2 and declares CorpNet1 as the network interface which is connected to the corporate internal network behind the NAT named DeployNat , with a defined internet interface named DMZNet1 and directs clients to connect to the entry point through ep2dmz.da.contoso.com.

PS C:\> Add-DAEntryPoint -Name "Entry Point 2" -InternalInterface CorpNet1 -RemoteAccessServer "da2.domain1.corp.contoso.com" -InternetInterface Internet -ClientIPv6Prefix 3000:0:30:2000::/64 -ConnectToAddress "ep2dmz.da.contoso.com" -ServerGpoName "domain1.corp.contoso.com\EP2ServerGpo" -PassThru –Force

Example 4

This example adds the edge server named da2.domain1.corp.contoso.com to the multi-site deployment, names the server Entry Point 2 and declares CorpNet1 as the network interface which is connected to the corporate internal network using GSLB and the IP address for Entry Point 2 is 137.5.0.50.

PS C:\> Add-DAEntryPoint -Name "Entry Point 2" -InternalInterface CorpNet1 -RemoteAccessServer "da2.domain1.corp.contoso.com" -InternetInterface Internet -ClientIPv6Prefix 3000:0:30:2000::/64 -ConnectToAddress "ep2.da.contoso.com" –GslbIP "137.5.0.50" -PassThru -Force
