Description

The Set-DfsnServerConfiguration cmdlet changes settings for a Distributed File System (DFS) namespace root server. A DFS namespace root server hosts one or more namespace root targets.

You can use this cmdlet to enable in-site referrals or to use cost in organizing referrals for targets in a site. You can also change the synchronization interval for servers that connect to a primary domain controller (PDC) emulator and change the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) time-out. You can specify whether referrals prefer the logon domain controller. You can also specify whether the server provides referrals as fully qualified domain names (FQDN) or NETBios names.

To see current values for these settings, use the Get-DfsnServerConfiguration cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1: Set LDAP time-out for a DFS namespace server

PS C:\> Set-DfsnServerConfiguration -ComputerName "localhost" -LdapTimeoutSec 60

This command sets an LDAP time-out value of 60 seconds for the local computer, which is a DFS namespace server.

Parameters

-AsJob

ps_cimcommon_asjob

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSessionhttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=227967 or Get-CimSessionhttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=227966 cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Type:CimSession[]
Aliases:Session
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ComputerName

Specifies the host name or FQDN for the DFS namespace server for which the cmdlet modifies settings.

Type:String
Aliases:Server, name, NamespaceServer
Position:0
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:cf
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-EnableInsiteReferrals

Indicates whether this server provides only in-site referrals. If you assign a value of $True, the server returns only referrals for targets in the same site as the client. If you assign a value of $False, the server returns in-site referrals and other referrals.

Type:Boolean
Aliases:insite
Position:3
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-EnableSiteCostedReferrals

Indicates whether the server can use cost-based selection. If you specify a value of $True, the DFS namespace server provides referrals for folder targets to clients in the following order:

  • Folder targets in the same site as a client, in random order.
  • Folder targets for which the DFS namespace server has information. The referrals for the nearest site are first, in random order, followed by the next nearest site, in random order.
  • Targets for which DFS namespace server has no site information, in random order.

If you specify a value of $False, the DFS namespace server provides referrals for folder targets to clients in the following order:

  • Folder targets in the same site as the client, in random order.
  • Other folder targets, in random order.
Type:Boolean
Aliases:Sitecosted, SiteCostedReferrals
Position:2
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-LdapTimeoutSec

Specifies a time-out value, in seconds, for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) requests for the DFS namespace server.

Type:UInt32
Aliases:LdapTimeout
Position:4
Default value:30
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-PreferLogonDC

Indicates whether to prefer the logon domain controller in referrals. If you specify a value of $True for this parameter, the DFS namespace server places referrals to the computer that hosts the logon domain controller at the top of the list of referrals.

Type:Boolean
Position:5
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-SyncIntervalSec

Specifies an interval, in seconds. This interval controls how often domain-based DFS namespace root servers and domain controllers connect to the PDC emulator to get updates of DFS namespace metadata.

Type:UInt32
Aliases:SyncInterval
Position:1
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ThrottleLimit

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Type:Int32
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-UseFqdn

Indicates whether a DFS namespace server uses FQDNs in referrals. If this parameter has a value of $True, the server uses FQDNs in referrals. If this parameter has a value of $False, the server uses NetBIOS names. The default for DFS namespace servers is to use NetBIOS names in referrals.

Type:Boolean
Aliases:Fqdn, dfsdnsconfig, UseFullyQualifiedDomainNames
Position:6
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-WhatIf

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

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:wi
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
