Description

The New-SCOpsMgrConnection cmdlet creates a connection between the Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) management server that you are currently connected to and an Operations Manager management group.

Before creating a connection to an Operations Manager management server, you must install the Operations Manager management console on your VMM management server and install the following management packs in Operations Manager:

  • SQL Server Core Library version 6.0.5000.0 or later management pack

  • Windows Server Internet Information Services Library version 6.0.5000.0 or later management pack

  • Windows Server Internet Information Services 2003 version 6.0.5000.0 or later management pack

  • Windows Server Internet Information Services 7 version 6.0.6539.0 or later management pack

Examples

Example 1: Create a connection to an Operations Manager management server

PS C:\> $OMCreds = Get-SCRunAsAccount -Name "OpsMgrServerAccount"
PS C:\> $VMMCreds = Get-Credential
PS C:\> New-SCOpsMgrConnection -OpsMgrServer "OpsMgrServer01.Contoso.com" -OpsMgrServerCredential $OMCreds -VMMServerCredential $VMMCreds

The first command gets the Run As account object named OpsMgrServerAccount and stores the object in the $OMCreds variable. The credentials provided in the Run As account must be a member of the Administrators user role on the Operations Manager management server.

The second command prompts you to for credentials, and stores the credentials you provide in the $VMMCreds variable. The account you provide must be a member of the Administrator user role on the VMM management server.

The last command creates a connection between the VMM management server that you are currently connected to and OpsMgrServer01 using the credentials obtained in the first two commands.
