…How to add UNIX agents manually via command line<\/p>\n

Required<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Unix Agent action account and agent maintenance account ID and passwords
\n2. Unix Resource Pool name (use get-SCOMResourcePool<\/span>)<\/p>\n

Don’t confuse the WSMAN login and use your MSAA ID<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

BTW, cmdlets exist with 2012R2 and 2016<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From MS running PowerShell as admin<\/p>\n
