Description
The Add-SCAdvisorAgent cmdlet adds Windows-based computers or instance groups to the group of agents that report to the System Center Advisor Connector.
Examples
Example 1: Add Windows-based computers to the connector for the current management group
PS C:\>$WindowsComputers = Get-SCClass -Name "Microsoft.Windows.computer" | Get-SCOMClassInstance
PS C:\> Add-SCAdvisorAgent -InputObjects $WindowsComputers
The first command uses the Get-SCClass cmdlet to get all the Windows-based computers, and then passes them to the Get-SCOMClassInstance cmdlet by using the pipeline operator. The command stores the instances of Windows-based computers in the $WindowsComputers variable.
The second command adds all the Windows-based computers that are stored in $WindowsComputers to the group of agents that report to the Advisor Connector.
Example 2: Add Windows computers to the connector for a specified computer
PS C:\>$WindowsComputers = Get-SCClass -Name Microsoft.Windows.computer | Get-SCOMClassInstance -ComputerName "Computer073"
PS C:\> Add-SCAdvisorAgent -InputObjects $WindowsComputers -ComputerName "Computer073"
The first command uses Get-SCClass to get all the Windows-based computers, and then passes them to Get-SCOMClassInstance by using the pipeline operator. The command connects to the computer Computer073, and then stores the instances of Windows-based computers in the $WindowsComputers variable.
The second command adds all the Windows-based computers that are stored in $WindowsComputers to the group of agents that report to the Advisor Connector.
Parameters
-ComputerName
Specifies an array of names of computers. The cmdlet establishes temporary connections with management groups for these computers. You can use NetBIOS names, IP addresses, or fully qualified domain names (FQDNs). To specify the local computer, type the computer name, localhost, or a dot (.).
The System Center Data Access service must be active on the computer. If you do not specify a computer, the cmdlet uses the computer for the current management group connection.

If this parameter is not specified, the cmdlet uses the active persistent connection to a management group.
Use the SCSession parameter to specify a different persistent connection.
You can create a temporary connection to a management group by using the ComputerName and Credential parameters.
