Examples

-------------------------- Example 1 -------------------------- (Skype for Business Server 2015)

Invoke-CsComputerFailBack -ComputerName "atl-mcs-001.litwareinc.com" -NoStart

This example marks the computer "atl-mcs-001.litwareinc.com" as available to the pool and enables the services, but does not start them.

Parameters

-ComputerName

Specifies the computer name to fail back. The computer should be referenced by using its fully qualified domain name (FQDN). For example, -ComputerName "atl-mcs-001.litwareinc.com". The computer name used during failback must be the same name used during failover.
