Adds a WSUS server to VMM.

Syntax

Default (Default) 

Add-SCUpdateServer
    [-VMMServer <ServerConnection>]
    [-ComputerName] <String>
    -TCPPort <UInt32>
    -Credential <VMMCredential>
    [-UseSSLConnection]
    [-StartUpdateServerSync]
    [-DisableUpdateServerConfiguration]
    [-RunAsynchronously]
    [-PROTipID <Guid>]
    [-JobVariable <String>]
    [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Add-SCUpdateServer cmdlet adds a Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server to Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). Adding a WSUS server integrates VMM and WSUS setup and enables the update management feature.

Examples

Example 1: Add an update server

PS C:\> $Credential = Get-SCRunAsAccount -Name "RunAsAccount01"
PS C:\> Add-SCUpdateServer -ComputerName "WSUSComputer01" -TCPPort 80 -Credential $Credential

The first command gets the Run As account named RunAsAccount01, and then stores that object in the $Credential variable.

The second command adds update server WSUSComputer01 to VMM. The command enable update servicing functionality. This command specifies $Credential Run As account credentials for Add-SCUpdateServer.
