PARAMETERS
Start
-Start <SwitchParameter>
Optionally specifies that the Windows service is started after installation.

| Position? | named |
| Default value | False |
| Accept pipeline input? | false |
| Accept wildcard characters? | false |
Cluster
-Cluster <String>
Specifies that the JobScheduler instance is a cluster member.
* An active cluster operates a number of instances for shared job execution
* A passive cluster operates a single instance as a primary JobScheduler and any number of additional instances as backup JobSchedulers.
When using -Cluster "passive" then the -Backup parameter can be used to specify that the instance to be installed is a backup JobScheduler.
| Required? | false |
| Position? | 1 |
| Default value | |
| Accept pipeline input? | false |
| Accept wildcard characters? | false |
Backup
-Backup <SwitchParameter>
Specifies that the JobScheduler instance is a backup instance in a passive cluster.
Backup instances use the same JobScheduler ID and database connection as the primary instance.
This parameter can only be used with -Cluster "passive".

| Position? | named |
| Default value | False |
| Accept pipeline input? | false |
| Accept wildcard characters? | false |
Pause
-Pause <SwitchParameter>
Specifies that the JobScheduler is paused after start-up.
The pause is applied to the initial start-up only, it is not applied
to further starts, e.g. carried out by the Windows service panel.
| Required? | false |
| Position? | named |
| Default value | False |
| Accept pipeline input? | false |
| Accept wildcard characters? | false |
PauseAfterFailure
-PauseAfterFailure <SwitchParameter>

This behavior will applies to each start of the Windows service,
e.g. by use of the Windows service panel.
