Sync-DfsReplicationGroup
Sync-DfsReplicationGroup
Synchronizes replication between computers regardless of schedule.
Syntax
Parameter Set: Default
Sync-DfsReplicationGroup [-GroupName] <String[]> [-SourceComputerName] <String> [-DestinationComputerName] <String> [-DurationInMinutes] <UInt32> [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]
Detailed Description
The Sync-DfsReplicationGroup cmdlet synchronizes replication between a source computer and a destination computer, even if replication is not scheduled by either a replication group or a connection.
This cmdlet ignores the schedule for the specified number of minutes. Use this cmdlet to alter the schedule temporarily to allow replication, because this cmdlet does not require Active Directory replication and LDAP polling.
Parameters
-DestinationComputerName<String>
Specifies the name of the receiving computer. A destination computer is also called an inbound or downstream computer. This computer overrides its schedule and replicates inbound.

Examples
Example 1: Replicate between servers for 15 minutes
This command allows replication from server SRV01 to SRV02 in the RG01 replication group for 15 minutes, even if the replication happens during a closed replication schedule.
PS C:\> Sync-DfsReplicationGroup -GroupName "RG01" -SourceComputerName "SRV01" -DestinationComputerName "SRV02" -DurationInMinutes 15
Example 2: Replicate between servers with verbose output
This command allows replication from server SRV01 to SRV02 in the RG01 replication group for 5 minutes.
PS C:\> Sync-DfsReplicationGroup -GroupName "RG01" -SourceComputerName "SRV01" -DestinationComputerName "SRV02" -DurationInMinutes 5 -verbose
