Required permissions

Use an account with the target resource permissions documented for Add-DAEntryPoint. Modifying administrative cmdlets may require elevation or delegated administration. This catalog does not assert that ordinary users can execute the command.

Parameters

-AsJob: Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
-CimSession: Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.
-ClientIPv6Prefix: Specifies the IPv6 address prefix assigned to remote clients connecting over IP-HTTPS. The prefix length must be 59 or 64 bits.
-ComputerName: Specifies the name or address, either IPv4 or IPv6, of a server or server cluster in the multi-site deployment.
-Confirm: Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
-ConnectToAddress (required): Specifies the public name, or IPv4 address, of the Remote Access server, or network address translation (NAT) server, to which remote clients connect.
-DeployNat: Indicates that the server or server cluster is deployed behind a NAT device.
-Force: Forces the command to run without asking for user confirmation.
-GslbIP: Specifies the IPv4 or IPv6 dedicated IP address (DIP) of the server, or the virtual IP address (VIP) of the server cluster, to be used for global load balancing.
-InternalInterface: Specifies the name of the internal network adapter of the first server in the entry point.
-InternetInterface: Specifies the name of the external network adapter of the first server in the entry point.
-Name (required): Specifies the name to be assigned to the entry point.
-NoPrerequisite: Indicates that a prerequisite check for DirectAccess deployment requirements should not be performed.
-PassThru: Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.
-RemoteAccessServer (required): Specifies the name or IP address, IPv4 or IPv6, of the server that will be the first server in the entry point.
-ServerGpoName: Specifies the name of the GPO in which DirectAccess server configuration settings for the entry point are stored. The GPO is created in the domain that contains the server specified in RemoteAccessServer.
-ThrottleLimit: Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
-WhatIf: Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

Prerequisites

Windows with the RemoteAccess module and the Windows feature or management tools that provide it. Confirm target connectivity and version compatibility using the linked Microsoft reference.

Security considerations

This cmdlet changes system state. Review every target and parameter in the official reference, test outside production, and prepare an appropriate backup or rollback. Do not execute the example automatically.

Examples

Example 1

Add-DAEntryPoint -Name "Entry Point 2" -InternalInterface CorpNet1 -RemoteAccessServer "da2.domain1.corp.contoso.com" -InternetInterface Internet -ClientIPv6Prefix 3000:0:30:2000::/64 -ConnectToAddress "ep2.da.contoso.com" -PassThru -Force

This example adds the edge server named da2.domain1.corp.contoso.com to the multi-site deployment, names the server Entry Point 2 and declares CorpNet1 as the network interface which is connected to the corporate internal network. Since the company uses IPv6 prefixes, IPHTTPS remote clients will connect via ep2.da.contoso.com using predefined prefix 3000:0:30:2000::/64.
