Adds a connector to a management group tier.
Syntax
Add-SCOMTierConnector
-Connector <MonitoringConnector>
-Tier <TieredManagementGroup>
[-PassThru]
[-SCSession <Connection[]>]
[-ComputerName <String[]>]
[-Credential <PSCredential>]
[-WhatIf]
[-Confirm]
[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Add-SCOMTierConnector cmdlet adds a connector to a System Center - Operations Manager management group tier. Connectors communicate monitoring information between systems in a tiered management group.
Examples
Example 1: Add a connector to a tiered management group
PS C:\>$Tier = Get-SCOMTieredManagementGroup | Select-Object -First 1
PS C:\> Add-SCOMConnector -Name MyProductConnector | Add-SCOMTierConnector -Tier $TierThis example adds a connector to an existing tiered management group.
The first command gets tiered management groups from the server, and passes them to the Select-Object cmdlet by using the pipeline operator.
That cmdlet selects the first tiered management group.
For more information, type Get-Help Select-Object.
The command stores the first tiered management group in the $Tier variable.
The second command adds a connector named MyProductConnector. The command then passes output to the Add-SCOMTierConnector cmdlet by using the pipeline operator. That cmdlet adds the connector to the tiered management group in the $Tier variable.
Parameters
-ComputerName
Specifies an array of names of computers. The cmdlet establishes temporary connections with management groups for these computers. Valid formats include a NetBIOS name, an IP address, or a fully qualified domain name (FQDN). To specify the local computer, specify the computer name, localhost, or a dot (.).
The computer must run the System Center Data Access service.
If you do not specify this parameter, the default is the computer for the current management group connection.

| Type: | MonitoringConnector |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Credential
Specifies a PSCredential object for the management group connection.
To obtain a PSCredential object, use the Get-Credential cmdlet.
For more information, type Get-Help Get-Credential.
If you specify a computer in the ComputerName parameter, use an account that has access to that computer. The default is the current user.
| Type: | PSCredential |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-PassThru
Indicates that the cmdlet creates an object. This parameter allows you to use this cmdlet in a pipeline. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-SCSession
Specifies an array of Connection objects. To get Connection objects, specify the Get-SCOMManagementGroupConnection cmdlet.
If you do not specify a value for this parameter, the 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.
