| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
/Forest |
Executes the action for the specified forest. If no fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is specified, the current forest is used. |
/Domain |
Executes the action for the specified domain. If no FQDN is specified, the current domain is used. |
/Server |
Executes the action for the specified computer. If no FQDN is specified, the current computer is used. |
/Role |
Specifies the role of the server. |
/Archiving |
Executes the action for the specified archiving computer. If no FQDN is specified, current computer is used. |
/MCU |
Executes the action for the specified MCU computer. If no FQDN is specified, current computer is used. |
/Cert |
Executes the selected certificate task on the current computer. |
/Web |
Executes the action for the specified WebComponents computer. If no FQDN is specified, current computer is used. |
/Config |
Exports or imports global, pool and/or computer-level configurations. |
/Level |
Specifies the levels of configurations that need to be exported or imported. |
/Restore |
Specifies the import of configuration data. When used with computer level, the restore process imports WMI classes that contain settings that are specific to the local computer (for example, IP address, ports, and certificates). If the /Restore parameter is not explicitly specified, the import process does not import these classes. If you are exporting configuration from one computer to another, you cannot specify the restore parameter and then manually configure classes that contain computer specific settings. If you are exporting and importing on the settings on a same computer, you should specify the /Restore parameter so that all classes are restored. When used with the global level, the /Restore parameter is used to import WMI classes that contain settings that are specific to the Active Directory topology (for example the location profile and A/V Authentication Service associated with each pool). The /Restore parameter should be used with the global level only when the Standard Edition Servers and Enterprise pools deployed in your topology have not changed since the configuration was exported. If the /Restore parameter is not specified these topology specific classes and properties must be configured. When used with the pool level, this parameter is ignored. |
/ConfigFile |
