   [-DisplayName] <String>
   -Latitude <String>
   -Longitude <String>

Description

The New-SCOMLocation cmdlet creates a ___location. You can associate agent-managed computers, management servers, or resource pools with a ___location by using the Set-SCOMLocation cmdlet. The Web Application Availability Monitoring Summary Map Dashboard displays the items that you associate with a ___location.

Provide a display name, a latitude, and a longitude for your ___location. Use the Update-SCOMLocation cmdlet to make changes to a ___location, or use the Remove-SCOMLocation to remove a ___location.

By default, this 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.

PS C:\>New-SCOMLocation -DisplayName "Seattle, WA" -Latitude 47.6063889 -Longitude -122.330833

This command creates a ___location that has a display name of Seattle, WA. The command specifies the latitude and longitude of Seattle.
