The New-NetworkControllerServer cmdlet creates updates a physical server resource in the Network Controller, or updates an existing one.
After you add the server resource, Network Controller manages that server.
The first command creates a CredentialProperties object, and then stores it in the $CredentialProperties variable.
The second command creates a credential that has the properties in $CredentialProperties by using the New-NetworkControllerCredential cmdlet.
The third command gets the credential by using the Get-NetworkControllerCredential cmdlet, and then stores it in the $Credential variable.
The fourth command creates a ServerProperties object by using the New-Object cmdlet.
The command stores the object in the $ServerProperties variable.
The next five commands assign values to properties of $ServerProperties.
The final command adds a server to the Network Controller that has the resource ID Server01.
The command identifies the Network Controller by URI.
The command specifies the properties of the server by using $ServerProperties.
Parameters
