{% code fullWidth="true" %}

```powershell
#Establish a connection with Parallels RAS (Replace Administrator with your RAS root account).

New-RASGateway -Server "gw.company.dom"
#Add the first RD Session Host server (replace rds1.company.dom with a valid FQDN, computer name, or IP address).
#The $RDS1 variable receives an object of type RDS identifying the RD Session Host.
$RDS1 = New-RASRDS -Server "rds1.company.dom"
#Update the description of RD Session Host specified by the $RDS1 variable. 
Set-RASRDS -InputObject $RDS1 -Description "Updating RDS Host 1"
#Add the second RD Session Host. $RDS2 = 
New-RASRDS -Server "rds2.company.dom"
#Get the list of RD Session Host servers. The $RDSList variable receives an array of objects of type RDS. 
$RDSList = Get-RASRDS
#Create an RD Session Host Group and add both RD Session Host objects to it. 
New-RASRDSGroup -Name "My RDS Group" -RDSObject $RDSList
#Add the third RD Session Host server. 
$RDS3 = New-RASRDS -Server "rds3.company.dom"
#Move RDS to RDS Group Member

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-powershell-api-guide/v19/examples/farm-example.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
