## DESCRIPTION

The New-RubrikHost cmdlet is used to register a host with the Rubrik cluster. This could be a host leveraging the Rubrik Backup Service or directly as with the case of NAS shares.

## EXAMPLES

### EXAMPLE 1

```
New-RubrikHost -Name 'Server1.example.com'
```

This will register a host that resolves to the name "Server1.example.com"

### EXAMPLE 2

```
New-RubrikHost -Name 'NAS.example.com' -HasAgent:$false
```

This will register a host that resolves to the name "NAS.example.com" without using the Rubrik Backup Service In this case, the example host is a NAS share.
