   [[-Description] <String>]
   [[-FileNameToExclude] <String[]>]
   [[-DirectoryNameToExclude] <String[]>]

Description

The New-DfsReplicatedFolder cmdlet creates a new replicated folder in a replication group. Replicated folders are logical arrangements of replication that do not contain computer-specific settings.

Examples

Example 1: Create a replicated folder

PS C:\> New-DfsReplicatedFolder -GroupName "RG22" -FolderName "RF26"


GroupName              : RG22
FolderName             : RF26
DomainName             : corp.contoso.com
Identifier             : 434ca205-388d-4f24-a5b0-7ff875d433e0
Description            :
FileNameToExclude      : {~*, *.bak, *.tmp}
DirectoryNameToExclude : {}
DfsnPath               :
IsDfsnPathPublished    : False
State                  : Normal

This command creates a replicated folder named RF26 in the replication group named RG22. The command does not alter the default settings for a replicated folder.

PS C:\> New-DfsReplicatedFolder -GroupName "RG22" -FolderName "RF26" -DfsnPath "\\corp.contoso.com\public\link1"


WARNING: The DfsnPath parameter is not validated. An incorrect path will not produce an error.


GroupName              : RG22
FolderName             : RF267
DomainName             : corp.contoso.com
Identifier             : 111c28cb-348a-47e3-8e4d-4bf394f640bb
Description            :
FileNameToExclude      : {~*, *.bak, *.tmp}
DirectoryNameToExclude : {}
DfsnPath               : \\corp.contoso.com\public\link1
IsDfsnPathPublished    : True
State                  : Normal

This command creates a replicated folder named RF26 in the replication group named RG22. The command DfsnPath parameter sets the administrative property for a DFS namespace link path. The cmdlet reminds the administrator that the DFSN path is cosmetic only and is not verified or used by DFS Replication in any way.

Example 3: Create a replicated folder that excludes specific file names

PS C:\> New-DfsReplicatedFolder -GroupName "RG11" -FolderName "RF08" -FileNameToExclude "~*, *.bak, *.tmp, *.ned"


GroupName              : RG11
FolderName             : RF08
DomainName             : corp.contoso.com
Identifier             : 085a1de3-b4e5-46a4-a8f4-8f36a20bafdf
Description            :
FileNameToExclude      : {~*, *.bak, *.tmp, *.ned}
DirectoryNameToExclude : {}
DfsnPath               :
IsDfsnPathPublished    : False
State                  : Normal

This command creates a replicated folder named RF08 in the replication group named RG11. The command specifies that the DFS Replication service exclude file names starting with a tilde (~) character and files that have the extensions .bak, .tmp, and .ned from replication.

Example 4: Create a data distribution replication topology

The first command uses the **New-DfsReplicationGroup** cmdlet to create a replication group object named Branch Office 1, and passes the object to the **New-DfsReplicatedFolder** cmdlet by using the pipe operator. The **New-DfsReplicatedFolder** cmdlet creates a replication folder object named Data Distribution 1, and passes the object to the **Add-DfsrMember** cmdlet by using the pipe operator. The **Add-DfsrMember** cmdlet adds the computers named SRV01, SRV02, and SRV03 to the replication group named Branch Office 1.
PS C:\> New-DfsReplicationGroup -GroupName "Branch Office 1" | New-DfsReplicatedFolder -FolderName "Data Distribution 1" | Add-DfsrMember -ComputerName "SRV01","SRV02","SRV03" | Format-Table dnsname,groupname -auto -wrap

DnsName               GroupName
-------               ---------
SRV01.corp.contoso.com Branch Office 1
SRV02.corp.contoso.com Branch Office 1
SRV03.corp.contoso.com Branch Office 1


The second command creates a bidirectional replication connection between the computer named SRV01 and the computer named SRV02 in the replication group named Branch Office 1.
PS C:\> Add-DfsrConnection -GroupName "Branch Office 1" -SourceComputerName "SRV01" -DestinationComputerName "SRV02" | Format-Table *name -wrap -auto



GroupName       SourceComputerName DestinationComputerName
---------       ------------------ -----------------------
Branch Office 1 SRV01               SRV02
Branch Office 1 SRV02               SRV01


The third command creates a bidirectional replication connection between the computer named SRV01 and the computer named SRV03 in the replication group named Branch Office 1.
PS C:\> Add-DfsrConnection -GroupName "Branch Office 1" -SourceComputerName "SRV01" -DestinationComputerName "SRV03" | Format-Table *name -wrap -auto
GroupName       SourceComputerName DestinationComputerName
---------       ------------------ -----------------------
Branch Office 1 SRV01               SRV03
Branch Office 1 SRV03               SRV01


The fourth command uses the **Set-DfsrMembership** cmdlet to configure membership settings for the primary member of the replication group named Branch Office 1. The command specifies that the computer named SRV01 is the primary member of the group. The command sets an appropriate quota size of the staging folder instead of the lower default.
PS C:\> Set-DfsrMembership -GroupName "Branch Office 1" -FolderName "Data Distribution 1" -ContentPath "C:\rf1" -ComputerName "SRV01" -PrimaryMember $True -StagingPathQuotaInMB 16384 -Force | Format-Table *name,*path,primary* -auto -wrap


DomainName       GroupName       FolderName          ComputerName ContentPath StagingPath                PrimaryMember
----------       ---------       ----------          ------------ ----------- -----------                -------------
corp.contoso.com Branch Office 1 Data Distribution 1 SRV01         c:\rf1      c:\rf1\DfsrPrivate\Staging          True

The last command uses the **Set-DfsrMembership** cmdlet to configure membership settings for the members of the replication group named Branch Office 1. The command specifies that the computers named SRV02 and SRV03 are members of the group. The command sets an appropriate quota size of the staging folder instead of the lower default.
PS C:\> Set-DfsrMembership -GroupName "Branch Office 1" -FolderName "Data Distribution 1" -ContentPath "C:\rf1" -ComputerName "SRV02","SRV03" -StagingPathQuotaInMB 16384 -Force | Format-Table *name,*path,primary* -auto -wrap


DomainName       GroupName       FolderName          ComputerName ContentPath StagingPath                PrimaryMember
----------       ---------       ----------          ------------ ----------- -----------                -------------
corp.contoso.com Branch Office 1 Data Distribution 1 SRV02         c:\rf1      c:\rf1\DfsrPrivate\Staging         False
corp.contoso.com Branch Office 1 Data Distribution 1 SRV03         c:\rf1      c:\rf1\DfsrPrivate\Staging         False

This example creates a hub and spoke data distribution replication topology.

Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-DfsnPath

Specifies the DFS Namespace (DFSN) folder path of the replicated folder.
