Examples

Example 1: Create a connector to the local domain

The first command gets a Run As account for Workflow Account by using the Get-SCSMRunAsAccount cmdlet. The command stores the result in the $RunAsAccount variable.

The second command prompts you for credentials by using the Get-Credential cmdlet, and then stores the credentials in the $Credential variable.

The final command creates an Active Directory connector to the local domain, which retrieves all computers, printers, users, and user groups. The connector is configured to synchronize every Sunday at 3:00 A.M.

PS C:\> $RunAsAccount = Get-SCSMRunAsAccount -DisplayName "Workflow Account"
PS C:\> $Credential = Get-Credential
PS C:\> New-SCADConnector -DisplayName "Contoso AD Connector" -Description "Contoso AD Connector" -QueryRoot "LDAP://DC=Contoso,DC=com" -RunAsAccount $RunAsAccount -ADCredential $Credential -Enable $False -ScheduleDay Sunday -ScheduleHour 3

Example 2: Create a connector to the local domain that includes a user filter

The first command gets a Run As account for Workflow Account, and then stores it in the $RunAsAccount variable.

The second command prompts you for credentials by using the Get-Credential cmdlet, and then stores the credentials in the $Credential variable.

The final command creates an Active Directory connector to the local domain which retrieves only the users that start with the letter E.

PS C:\> $RunAsAccount = Get-SCSMRunAsAccount -DisplayName "Workflow Account"
PS C:\> $Credential = Get-Credential
PS C:\> New-SCADConnector -DisplayName "Contoso AD Connector" -Description "Contoso users starting with E" -QueryRoot "LDAP://DC=Contoso,DC=com" -RunAsAccount $RunAsAccount -ADCredential $Credential -Enable $False -UserFilter "(givenname=E*)"
