Example
The following example can be used to configure agent failover to multiple gateway servers.
$primaryMS = Get-ManagementServer | where {your filter here}
$failoverMS = Get-ManagementServer | where {your filter here}
$agent = Get-Agent | where {your filter here}
Set-ManagementServer -AgentManagedComputer: $agent -PrimaryManagementServer: $primaryMS -FailoverServer: $failoverMS
In the example above, you will need to create a filter statement for the first three commands. The following is an example of a filter command written to find the computer computername.com that will be assigned to the $failoverMS variable:
$failoverMS = Get-ManagementServer | where {$_.Name –eq ’contoso.com’ }
