Inputs
The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.
- Microsoft.DistributedFileSystemReplication.DfsReplicationGroup

Examples
Example 1: Create a replication group
This command creates a replication group named RG01.
PS C:\> New-DfsReplicationGroup -GroupName "RG01"
Example 2: Create a replication topology
This example creates a replication topology with an upstream server and two downstream servers.
The first command uses the New-DfsReplicationGroup cmdlet to create a replication group with the name Branch Office 1. The command pipes the output to the New-DfsReplicatedFolder cmdlet to create a replicated folder with the name Data Distribution 1. The command pipes the output to the Add-DfsrMember cmdlet to add the member servers named SRV01, SRV02, and SRV03. The command formats the output of the pipeline as a table.
The second command uses the Add-DfsrConnection cmdlet to add bidirectional connections between servers SRV01 and SRV02.
The third command uses the Add-DfsrConnection cmdlet to add bidirectional connections between servers SRV01 and SRV03.
The fourth command uses the Set-DfsrMembership cmdlet to set SRV01 as the primary member.
The fifth command uses the Set-DfsrMembership cmdlet to set membership for servers SRV02 and SRV03.
