Write-DfsrHealthReport

Write-DfsrHealthReport

Generates a DFS Replication health report.

Syntax

Parameter Set: Default
Write-DfsrHealthReport [-GroupName] <String[]> [[-ReferenceComputerName] <String> ] [[-MemberComputerName] <String[]> ] [[-Path] <String> ] [[-DomainName] <String> ] [-CountFiles] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Write-DfsrHealthReport cmdlet generates a DFS Replication health, or diagnostic, report for two or more servers. A health reports contains administrative information about replication state, efficiency, and any potential replication issues.

The cmdlet creates the reports as an HTML file, with an associated XML file.

Parameters

-CountFiles

Indicates that the cmdlet counts the number of files present in the replicated content folders. By default, the cmdlet does not count files, in order to save time while generating a report.

-DomainName<String>

Specifies a NetBIOS or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for an Active Directory domain that contains a replication group. If you do not specify this parameter, the cmdlet uses the current domain of the user.

-GroupName<String[]>

Specifies an array of names of replication groups. If you do not specify this parameter, the cmdlet queries for all participating replication groups. You can specify multiple groups, separated by commas, as well as wildcard characters (*).

-MemberComputerName<String[]>

Specifies an array of DFS Replication members to analyze in comparison to a server specified by the ReferenceComputerName parameter. If you do not specify this parameter, the cmdlet includes all members of the replication group. You can specify multiple computer names, separated by commas, as well as wildcard characters (*).

-Path<String>

Specifies the folder path for the report file. If you do not specify this parameter, the cmdlet uses the current working directory.

The cmdlet names each report in the format Health-<Replication Group Name>-<Date>-<Time> with HTML and XML extensions.

-ReferenceComputerName<String>

Specifies the name of a reference computer in the replication group. The replication backlog from this server is compared to all other members specified in the MemberComputerName parameter. If you do not specify this parameter, the cmdlet uses the local computer.

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see    about_CommonParameters (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=113216).

Inputs

The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.

• Microsoft.DistributedFileSystemReplication.DfsReplicationGroup

Outputs

The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.

• [none]

Examples

Example 1: Generate a health report with a file count

This command generates a report for the replication group RG01 and the reference computer SRV01.

PS C:\> Write-DfsrHealthReport -GroupName "RG01" -ReferenceComputerName "SRV01" -MemberComputerName SRV02 -Path C:\reports -CountFiles

Example 2: Generate a health report

This command generates a health report for the RG01 replication group with a baseline computer of SRV01 and all other servers in the replication group. The command writes the report to the C:\ folder.

PS C:\> Write-DfsrHealthReport -GroupName "RG01" -ReferenceComputerName "SRV01" -Verbose
