[<CommonParameters>]Description
The Add-SCOMConnector cmdlet creates a (CI) connector for System Center Operations Manager. You can use a CI connector to synchronize data between Operations Manager and other management systems.
By default, this 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. For more information, type Get-Help about_OpsMgr_Connections.
