Enable-CsReplica

 

Topic Last Modified: 2012-03-23

Adds the local computer to the Microsoft Lync Server 2010 replication path.

Syntax

Enable-CsReplica [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-Force <SwitchParameter>] [-GlobalCatalog <Fqdn>] [-GlobalSettingsDomainController <Fqdn>] [-Report <String>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]

Detailed Description

When a service or server role is installed on a computer, that computer needs to be added to the replication path; doing so enables the computer to receive the topology and configuration files from the Central Management store. The Enable-CsReplica cmdlet provides a way for you to manually add a computer to the replication path. As a general rule, you will not need to manually add a computer to the replication path. Instead, this will automatically take place when you install Lync Server 2010 on a computer.

Who can run this cmdlet: You must be a local administrator and a member of the domain in order to run the Enable-CsReplica cmdlet locally.

Parameters

FQDN of a domain controller where global settings are stored. If global settings are stored in the System container in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), then this parameter must point to the root domain controller.
