Add-WFHost

You can use this cmdlet to add this computer to the workflow farm. Workflow Manager 1.0 must already be installed on the computer.

Syntax

Parameter Set: Default
Add-WFHost -CertificateAutoGenerationKey <SecureString> -RunAsPassword <SecureString> -WFFarmDBConnectionString <String> [-EnableFirewallRules <Boolean> ] [-EnableHttpPort] [-SBClientConfiguration <String> ] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

Run Add-WFHost to add a new host to the Workflows farm. When a Workflows farm is created it contains no hosts and cannot provide any service. Only when the first host is added to the farm it is considered to be running.

Parameters

-EnableFirewallRules<Boolean>

Use this parameter to specify the user acceptance for enabling firewall rules. The firewall rules must be enabled for the farm to work properly.

-CertificateAutoGenerationKey<SecureString>

This passphrase is required for certificate auto generation. This is a mandatory parameter if you want certificates to be auto generated.

-EnableHttpPort

Indicates whether to enable the HTTP port.

-RunAsPassword<SecureString>

Specifies the password for the user account under which services are running on the farm.

If all the machines in a farm share the same service account and security policy requires the service account password to be changed at regular intervals, you must perform specific actions on each machine in the farm to be able to continue adding and removing nodes in the farm. See the section titled "Managing Farm Password Changes Using Cmdlets" for this procedure.

-SBClientConfiguration<String>

The Service Bus client configuration.

-WFFarmDBConnectionString<String>

Specifies the connection string for the SQL Server instance being added as the farm management database.
