Description

This cmdlet sets the primary SearchHostController for the farm to the defined SearchHostController.

For permissions and the most current information about Windows PowerShell for SharePoint Products, see the online documentation at SharePoint Server Cmdlets.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

$si = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -Local
Set-SPEnterpriseSearchPrimaryHostController $si

This example sets the local SearchHostController instance as the new primary SearchHostController. It is up to the user to select the HostController with latest version available.

If you choose a SearchHostController that is not running the latest version of the repository, you will have to confirm before you continue.

EXAMPLE 2

$si = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -Local
Set-SPEnterpriseSearchPrimaryHostController $si -Force

This example sets the local SearchHostController instance as the new primary SearchHostController.

If you choose a SearchHostController that is not running the latest version of the repository, you will not get a confirmation message before you continue.

Parameters

-AssignmentCollection

Applicable: SharePoint Server 2013, SharePoint Server 2016, SharePoint Server 2019

Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.

When the Global parameter is used, all objects are contained in the global store. If objects are not immediately used, or disposed of by using the Stop-SPAssignment command, an out-of-memory scenario can occur.
