[<CommonParameters>] Description
The New-SCSMManagementGroupConnection cmdlet creates a connection for a management group. The last connection that is created with the New-SCSMManagementGroupConnection cmdlet becomes the active connection that is used by the Get cmdlets when no ComputerName or SCSession parameter is specified.
