## Examples

::: example
### Adding Computer to Protection Group

This example shows how to add a computer to the `Computers` protection group.

```
$group = Get-VBRProtectionGroup -Name Computers
$comp = $group.Container.CustomCredentials
$supervisor = New-VBRIndividualComputerCustomCredentials -HostName support.east.local -Credentials support\jsmith
$comp += $supervisor
$newcomp = Set-VBRIndividualComputerContainer -Container $group.Container -CustomCredentials $comp
Set-VBRProtectionGroup -ProtectionGroup $group -Container $newcomp
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRProtectionGroup`](get-vbrprotectiongroup.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$group` variable.
2. Get individual computers. Use the `Container.CustomCredentials` property of the `$group` variable. Save the result to the `$comp` variable.
3. Run the [`New-VBRIndividualComputerCustomCredentials`](new-vbrindividualcomputercustomcredentials.md) cmdlet. Specify the `HostName` and the `Credentials` parameter values. Save the result to the `$supervisor` variable.
4. Add the computer to the group of computers in the `$comp` variable. Use the `+=` operator.
5. Run the `Set-VBRIndividualComputerContainer` cmdlet. Set the `Container` property of the `$group` variable as the `Container` parameter value. Set the `$comp` variable as the `CustomCredentials` parameter value. Save the result to the `$newcomp` variable.
6. Run the [`Set-VBRProtectionGroup`](set-vbrprotectiongroup.md) cmdlet. Set the `$group` variable as the `ProtectionGroup` parameter value. Set the `$newcomp` variable as the `Container` parameter value.
