1. Log on to the gateway server with an account that is a member of the Administrators role for the management group.

2. On the Windows desktop, click Start, point to Programs, point to System Center Operations Manager, and then click Command Shell.

3. In Command Shell, follow the example described in the next section.

The following example can be used to configure gateway server failover to multiple management servers.

	Copy Code
$primaryMS = Get-ManagementServer | where {your filter here} $failoverMS = Get-ManagementServer | where {your filter here} $gatewayMS = Get-ManagementServer | where {your filter here} Set-ManagementServer -GatewayManagementServer: $gatewayMS -PrimaryManagementServer: $primaryMS -FailoverServer: $failoverMS

In the preceding example, you will need to create a filter statement for the first three commands. The following is an example of a filter command written to find the computer contoso.com that will be assigned to the $failoverMS variable:

	Copy Code
$failoverMS = Get-ManagementServer | where {$_.Name –eq ’contoso.com’ }

For help with the Set-ManagementServer command, type the following in the Command Shell window.

	Copy Code
Get-help Set-ManagementServer -full
