$AdminState = "enabled"
$Severity = "notifications"
#Cycles through each UCS setting values
Foreach ($ucs in $domains) {
Connect-UCS $ucs -Credential $cred
Get-UcsSyslogClient -Name $Name | Set-UcsSyslogClient -AdminState $AdminState -ForwardingFacility $Facility -Hostname $SyslogServer -Severity $Severity -Force
