Description
The Sync-DfsReplicationGroup cmdlet synchronizes replication between a source computer and a destination computer, even if replication is not scheduled by either a replication group or a connection.
This cmdlet ignores the schedule for the specified number of minutes. Use this cmdlet to alter the schedule temporarily to allow replication, because this cmdlet does not require Active Directory replication and LDAP polling.
Examples
Example 1: Replicate between servers for 15 minutes
PS C:\> Sync-DfsReplicationGroup -GroupName "RG01" -SourceComputerName "SRV01" -DestinationComputerName "SRV02" -DurationInMinutes 15
This command allows replication from server SRV01 to SRV02 in the RG01 replication group for 15 minutes, even if the replication happens during a closed replication schedule.
Example 2: Replicate between servers with verbose output
PS C:\> Sync-DfsReplicationGroup -GroupName "RG01" -SourceComputerName "SRV01" -DestinationComputerName "SRV02" -DurationInMinutes 5 -Verbose
VERBOSE: Performing operation "Sync-DfsReplicationGroup" on Target "SRV01".
VERBOSE: The **Sync-DfsReplicationGroup** cmdlet completed successfully.
This command allows replication from server SRV01 to SRV02 in the RG01 replication group for 5 minutes.
Parameters
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
