DFSReplicationGroupMembership

Parameters

Parameter Attribute DataType Description Allowed Values
GroupName Key String The name of the DFS Replication Group.
FolderName Key String The name of the DFS Replication Group Folder.
ComputerName Key String The computer name of the Replication Group member. This can be specified using either the ComputerName or FQDN name for the member. If an FQDN name is used and the DomainName parameter is set, the FQDN domain name must match.
EnsureEnabled Write String Ensures that membership is either Enabled or Disabled. Enabled, Disabled
ContentPath Write String The local content path for the DFS Replication Group Folder.
StagingPath Write String The local staging path for the DFS Replication Group Folder.
StagingPathQuotaInMB Write UInt32 The staging path quota size in MB for the DFS Replication Group Folder.
MinimumFileStagingSize Write String The minimum file size that DFS Replication stages during outbound replication. Size256KB, Size512KB, Size1MB, Size2MB, Size4MB, Size8MB, Size16MB, Size32MB, Size64MB, Size128MB, Size256MB, Size512MB, Size1GB, Size2GB, Size4GB, Size8GB, Size16GB, Size32GB, Size64GB, Size128GB, Size256GB, Size512GB, Size1TB, Size2TB, Size4TB, Size8TB, Size16TB, Size32TB, Size64TB, Size128TB, Size256TB, Size512TB
ConflictAndDeletedPath Read String The local content and deleted path for the DFS Replication Group Folder.
ConflictAndDeletedQuotaInMB Write UInt32 The local conflict and deleted path quota size in MB.
ReadOnly Write Boolean Specify if this content path should be read only.
RemoveDeletedFiles Write Boolean Specify if a member computer deletes files and folders immediately following inbound replication.
PrimaryMember Write Boolean Used to configure this as the Primary Member. Every folder must have at least one primary member for initial replication to take place. Only set during initial creation of membership.
DfsnPath Write String Specify the DFS Namespace folder path of the membership. This value does not affect replication.
DomainName Write String The name of the AD Domain the DFS Replication Group this replication group is in.

Description

This resource is used to configure Replication Group Folder Membership. It is usually used to set the ContentPath for each Replication Group folder on each Member computer. It can also be used to set additional properties of the Membership. This resource shouldn't be used for folders where the Content Path is set in the DFSReplicationGroup.

Note: The PrimaryMember flag is automatically cleared by DFS once an initial replication sync takes place, so is not tested by this resource.

Examples

Example 1

Create a DFS Replication Group called Public containing two members, FileServer1 and FileServer2. The Replication Group contains a single folder called Software. A description will be set on the Software folder and it will be set to exclude the directory Temp from replication. An automatic fullmesh topology is assigned to the replication group connections.

Example 2

Create a DFS Replication Group called Public containing two members, FileServer1 and FileServer2. The Replication Group contains a single folder called Software. A description will be set on the Software folder and it will be set to exclude the directory Temp from replication. The resource group topology is left set to 'Manual' so that the replication group connections can be defined.

Example 3

Create a Hub and Spoke style DFS Replication Group called WebSite containing one Hub member and one or more Spoke members. The name of the Hub computer is passed in the HubComputerName parameter and defaults to 'Hub'. The Hub member contains a folder called WebSiteFiles with the path 'd:\inetpub\wwwroot\WebSiteFiles'. This path is replicated to all members of the SpokeComputerName parameter array into the 'd:\inetpub\wwwroot\WebSiteFiles' folder. The spoke computers are passed in the SpokeComputerName parameter and defaults to 'Spoke1', 'Spoke2' and 'Spoke3'.
