Description
The Get-NetworkControllerServer cmdlet gets configuration of a physical host from the Network Controller. For a host to be managed by the Network Controller, you must add it to the Network Controller by using New-NetworkControllerServer cmdlet.
Examples
Example 1: Get server configuration
PS C:\> Get-NetworkControllerServer -ConnectionUri "https://networkcontroller" -ResourceId "Server01"
This command retrieves the configuration of a server that has the resource ID Server01, from the Network Controller.
Parameters
-CertificateThumbprint
Specifies the certificate thumbprint of a digital public key X.509 certificate of a user account that has permission to perform this action. In order for Network Controller to authorize the account, specify this thumbprint by using the ClientCertificateThumbprint parameter of the Install-NetworkController or Set-NetworkController cmdlet.
