Adds a JumpCloud System to a JumpCloud System Group

Add-JCSystemGroupMember [-GroupName] <String> -SystemID <String>
 [<CommonParameters>]

Add-JCSystemGroupMember [[-GroupName] <String>] -SystemID <String> [-ByID] [-GroupID <String>]
 [<CommonParameters>]

The Add-JCSystemGroupMember function is used to add a JumpCloud System to a JumpCloud System Group. The new System Group member must be added by the SystemID parameter.

PS C:\> Add-JCSystemGroupMember -GroupName 'Windows Systems' -SystemID '59dad305383roc7k369sf7s2'

Adds a System with SystemID '59dad305383roc7k369sf7s2' to the System Group 'Windows Systems'

PS C:\> Get-JCSystem | Where-Object os -Like *Mac* | Add-JCSystemGroupMember -GroupName 'Mac Systems'

Adds all Systems with an operating system like 'Mac' to the System Group 'Mac Systems'

Get-JCSystem | Where-Object active -EQ $true | Add-JCSystemGroupMember -GroupName 'Active Systems'

Adds all active systems to the System Group 'Active Systems'

Get-JCSystem |  Where-Object {$_.active -EQ $true -and $_.os -like '*Mac*'} | Add-JCSystemGroupMember 'Active Mac Systems'

Adds all active systems with an operating system like 'Mac' to the System Group 'Active Mac Systems'

Use the -ByID parameter when the GroupID and SystemID are both being passed over the pipeline to the Add-JCSystemGroupMember function. The -ByID SwitchParameter will set the ParameterSet to "ByID" which will increase the function speed and performance.

Type: System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: ByID
Aliases:

Required: False

The GroupID is used in the ParameterSet 'ByID'. The GroupID for a System Group can be found by running the command:

Type: System.String
Parameter Sets: ByID
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False

The name of the JumpCloud System Group that you want to add the System to.

Type: System.String
Parameter Sets: ByName
Aliases: name

Required: True
Position: 0
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)

Aliases: name

Required: False
Position: 0
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False

The _id of the System which you want to add to the System Group.

To find a JumpCloud SystemID run the command:

PS C:\> Get-JCSystem | Select hostname, _id

The SystemID will be the 24 character string populated for the _id field.

SystemID has an Alias of _id. This means you can leverage the PowerShell pipeline to populate this field automatically using the Get-JCSystem function before calling Add-JCSystemGroupMember. This is shown in EXAMPLES 2, 3, and 4.

Type: System.String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases: _id, id

Required: True
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
