And remember - just bing or google a cmdlet, and you will find tons of examples and scripts where you can get all kinds of good ideas on syntax, outputs, and use cases.

Okay. When I did "Get-SCOMAgent -DNSHostName Hostname | fl" I saw the 'ComputerName' property and thought I could just perform the query against that property. Just tried your suggestion and it's working as expected. Thank you very much.

This parameter tells the cmdlet which SCOM server to connect to. What you will have to do is get all agents and filter on the ComputerName property.

The service is running and using our designated SCOM DAS account.

Example that works with FQDN: Get-SCOMAgent -DNSHostName hostname.domain.com However, if I don't give the FQDN, the above command won't work. I see "ComputerName", but when I tried it via "Get-SCOMAgent -ComputerName Hostname" it fails stating the Data Access service is either not running or not yet initialized. I'm running this on one of the Management Servers and do not see any "Data Access" service by ServiceName or DisplayName. My goal is for users to be able to input a hostname and perform some tasks, but I don't want them to have to remember to enter the FQDN, if it's avoidable. I would append our domain to their entries, but we actually have several domains reporting to our environment, so hardcoding the appending text is not ideal either. Thoughts?
