.NAME
DFSReplicationGroup .DESCRIPTION This resource is used to create, edit or remove DFS Replication Groups. If used to create a Replication Group it should be combined with the DFSReplicationGroupMembership resources. .PARAMETER GroupName Key - String The name of the DFS Replication Group. .PARAMETER Ensure Write - String Allowed values: Present, Absent Specifies whether the DFS Replication Group should exist. .PARAMETER Description Write - String A description for the DFS Replication Group. .PARAMETER Members Write - StringArray A list of computers that are members of this Replication Group. These can be specified using either the ComputerName or FQDN name for each member. These may alternatively be defined separately through the DFSReplicationGroupMember resource - NB do NOT use both methods in the same configuration to avoid config flapping. If an FQDN name is used and the DomainName parameter is set, the FQDN domain name must match. .PARAMETER Folders Write - StringArray A list of folders that are replicated in this Replication Group. .PARAMETER Topology Write - String Allowed values: Fullmesh, Manual This allows a replication topology to assign to the Replication Group. It defaults to Manual, which will not automatically create a topology. If set to Fullmesh, a full mesh topology between all members will be created. .PARAMETER ContentPaths Write - StringArray An array of DFS Replication Group Content Paths to use for each of the Folders. This can have one entry for each Folder in the Folders parameter and should be set in th same order. If any entry is not blank then the Content Paths will need to be set manually by using the DFSReplicationGroupMembership resource. .PARAMETER DomainName Write - String The AD domain the Replication Group should created in. .EXAMPLE 1 Create a DFS Replication Group called Public containing two members, FileServer1 and FileServer2. The Replication Group contains a single folder called Software. A description will be set on the Software folder and it will be set to exclude the directory Temp from replication. An automatic fullmesh topology is assigned to the replication group connections.

The Replication Group contains two folders called Software and Misc. An automatic Full Mesh connection topology will be assigned. The Content Paths for each folder and member will be set to 'd:\public\software' and 'd:\public\misc' respectively.

The Replication Group contains a single folder called Software. A description will be set on the Software folder and it will be set to exclude the directory Temp from replication. The resource group topology is left set to 'Manual' so that the replication group connections can be defined.

The name of the Hub computer is passed in the HubComputerName parameter and defaults to 'Hub'. The Hub member contains a folder called WebSiteFiles with the path 'd:\inetpub\wwwroot\WebSiteFiles'. This path is replicated to all members of the SpokeComputerName parameter array into the 'd:\inetpub\wwwroot\WebSiteFiles' folder. The spoke computers are passed in the SpokeComputerName parameter and defaults to 'Spoke1', 'Spoke2' and 'Spoke3'.
