### Example 1. Creating Scope of Computers for Protection Group

This example shows how to create a scope of computers for a protection group.

```
$computers = @("172.19.51.53", "sup-v8931") | ForEach { New-VBRIndividualComputerCustomCredentials -HostName $_ -Credentials "support\jsmith" }
New-VBRIndividualComputerContainer -CustomCredentials $computers
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`New-VBRIndividualComputerCustomCredentials`](new-vbrindividualcomputercustomcredentials.md) cmdlet. Use the `ForEach` statement to apply the same credentials to multiple computers. Save the result to the `$computers` variable.
2. Run the `New-VBRIndividualComputerContainer` cmdlet. Set the `$computers` variable as the `CustomCredentials` parameter value.

### Example 2. Creating Protection Group with Scope of Computers

This example shows how to create a protection group with a scope of computers.

```
$computers = @("172.19.51.53", "sup-v8931") | ForEach { New-VBRIndividualComputerCustomCredentials -HostName $_ -Credentials "support\jsmith" }
$compscope = New-VBRIndividualComputerContainer -CustomCredentials $computers
Add-VBRProtectionGroup -Name "Computers" -Container $compscope
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Create a scope of computers:

   - Run the [`New-VBRIndividualComputerCustomCredentials`](new-vbrindividualcomputercustomcredentials.md) cmdlet. Use the `ForEach` statement to apply the same credentials to multiple computers. Save the result to the `$computers` variable.
   - Run the `New-VBRIndividualComputerContainer` cmdlet. Set the `$computers` variable as the `CustomCredentials` parameter value. Save the result to the `$compscope` variable.

2. Create a protection group. To do this, run the [`Add-VBRProtectionGroup`](add-vbrprotectiongroup.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Set the `$compscope` variable as the `Container` parameter value.
