Get-DfsReplicationGroup
Retrieves a replication group.
Syntax
Get-DfsReplicationGroup
[[-GroupName] <String[]>]
[-IncludeSysvol]
[[-DomainName] <String>]
[<CommonParameters>]
Description
The Get-DfsReplicationGroup cmdlet retrieves existing replication groups.
A replication group is a set of servers, or members, that participate in the replication of one or more folders. A replicated folder is kept synchronized among the members of a replication group. The Distributed File System (DFS) Replication Get-* cmdlets are useful for pipeline operations or inventory.

This command retrieves all replication groups for inventory, including the special Domain System Volume resource group created by domain controllers. By default, this resource group is not returned as its management is controlled by Active Directory.
Parameters
-DomainName
Specifies the NetBIOS name or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the Active Directory Domain Service (AD DS) domain that contains a replication group. If you do not specify this parameter, the cmdlet uses the current domain of the user.
Type: | String |
Position: | 100 |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | True |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-GroupName
Specifies an array of names of replication groups. If you do not specify this parameter, the cmdlet queries for all participating replications groups. You can use a comma separated list and the wildcard character (*).
Type: | String[] |
Aliases: | RG, RgName |
Position: | 0 |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | True |
Accept wildcard characters: | True |
-IncludeSysvol
Indicates that the cmdlet retrieves the special Domain System Volume replication group that domain controllers create. This replication group contains the SYSVOL Share replicated folder. DFS Replication does not allow direct modification of SYSVOL due to internal blocks, and this parameter is provided for convenience only so that administrators can inventory if a domain contains DFSR SYSVOL.
Type: | SwitchParameter |

Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
