[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Set-ADReplicationSiteLink cmdlet can be used to set properties on an Active Directory site link. A site link connects two or more sites. Site links reflect the administrative policy for how sites are to be interconnected and the methods used to transfer replication traffic. You must connect sites with site links so that domain controllers at each site can replicate Active Directory changes.
Examples
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 --------------------------
C:\PS>Set-ADReplicationSiteLink "Europe-Asia" -SitesIncluded @{Add="Asia2";Remove="Asia"}Description
Add site 'Asia2' to the site link 'Europe-Asia', and remove site 'Asia'.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 --------------------------
C:\PS>Get-ADReplicationSiteLink -Filter "ReplicationFrequencyInMinutes -ge 60" -Properties Cost | % {Set-ADReplicationSiteLink $_ -Cost 200}Description
Get all the site links in the directory with replication frequency greater than or equal to 60 minutes. Set the Cost property on these site link objects to 200.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 3 --------------------------
PS C:\>$replicationSchedule = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.ActiveDirectorySchedule
$replicationSchedule.SetDailySchedule("Nine","Zero","Zero","Zero")
Set-ADReplicationSiteLink "NorthAmerica-SouthAmerica" -ReplicationSchedule $replicationScheduleDescription
Set the daily replication schedule of the site link with name 'NorthAmerica-SouthAmerica'.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 4 --------------------------
C:\PS>Set-ADReplicationSiteLink "Europe-Asia" -Replace @{'options'=1}Description
Enable change notification on the site link with name 'Europe-Asia'.
Parameters
-Add
Specifies values to add to an object property. Use this parameter to add one or more values to a property that cannot be modified using a cmdlet parameter. To modify an object property, you must use the LDAP display name. You can specify multiple values to a property by specifying a comma-separated list of values and more than one property by separating them using a semicolon.. The format for this parameter is
-Add @{Attribute1LDAPDisplayName=value1, value2, ...; Attribute2LDAPDisplayName=value1, value2, ...; AttributeNLDAPDisplayName=value1, value2, ...}
For example, if you want to remove the value "555-222-2222" and add the values "555-222-1111" and "555-222-3333" to Phone-Office-Other attribute (LDAP display name 'otherTelephone'), and add the value "555-222-9999" to Phone-Mobile-Other (LDAP display name 'otherMobile'), set the Add and Remove parameters as follows.
-Add @{otherTelephone='555-222-1111', '555-222-3333'; otherMobile='555-222-9999' } -Remove @{otherTelephone='555-222-2222'}
When you use the Add, Remove, Replace and Clear parameters together, the operations will be performed in the following order:
..Remove
..Add
..Replace
| Type: | Hashtable |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-AuthType
Specifies the authentication method to use. Possible values for this parameter include:
Negotiate or 0
Basic or 1
The default authentication method is Negotiate.
A Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection is required for the Basic authentication method.
The following example shows how to set this parameter to Basic.
-AuthType Basic
| Type: | ADAuthType |
| Accepted values: | Negotiate, Basic |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.AuthType.Negotiate |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Clear
Specifies an array of object properties that will be cleared in the directory. Use this parameter to clear one or more values of a property that cannot be modified using a cmdlet parameter. To modify an object property, you must use the LDAP display name. You can modify more than one property by specifying a comma-separated list. The format for this parameter is
-Clear Attribute1LDAPDisplayName, Attribute2LDAPDisplayName
For example, if you want to clear the value for the Phone-Office-Other attribute (LDAP display name 'otherTelephone') set the Clear parameter as follows.
-Clear otherTelephone
When you use the Add, Remove, Replace and Clear parameters together, the operations will be performed in the following order:
..Remove
..Add
..Replace
..Clear
| Type: | String[] |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Aliases: | cf |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | False |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Cost
Specifies the cost to be placed on the site link. For more information on determining the cost, see the following topic called "Determining the Cost" in the TechNet Library: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221871
| Type: | Int32 |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Credential
Specifies the user account credentials to use to perform this task. The default credentials are the credentials of the currently logged on user unless the cmdlet is run from an Active Directory PowerShell provider drive. If the cmdlet is run from such a provider drive, the account associated with the drive is the default.
To specify this parameter, you can type a user name, such as "User1" or "Domain01\User01" or you can specify a PSCredential object. If you specify a user name for this parameter, the cmdlet prompts for a password.
You can also create a PSCredential object by using a script or by using the Get-Credential cmdlet. You can then set the Credential parameter to the PSCredential object The following example shows how to create credentials.
$AdminCredentials = Get-Credential "Domain01\User01"
The following shows how to set the Credential parameter to these credentials.
-Credential $AdminCredentials
If the acting credentials do not have directory-level permission to perform the task, Active Directory PowerShell returns a terminating error.
| Type: | PSCredential |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Description
Specifies a description of the object. This parameter sets the value of the Description property for the object. The LDAP Display Name (ldapDisplayName) for this property is "description".
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Identity
Specifies an Active Directory object by providing one of the following property values. The identifier in parentheses is the LDAP display name for the attribute.
Distinguished Name
Example: CN=NorthAmerica-SouthAmerica,CN=IP,CN=Inter-Site Transports,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=corp,DC=contoso,DC=com
GUID (objectGUID)
Example: 599c3d2e-f72d-4d20-8a88-030d99495f20
The cmdlet searches the default naming context or partition to find the object. If two or more objects are found, the cmdlet returns a non-terminating error.
This parameter can also get this object through the pipeline or you can set this parameter to an object instance.
This example shows how to set this parameter to an ADObject object instance named "ADObjectInstance".
-Identity $ADObjectInstance
| Type: | ADReplicationSiteLink |
| Position: | 0 |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Instance
Specifies an instance of a site link object to use as a template for a new site link object.
You can use an instance of an existing site link object as a template or you can construct a new site link object by using the Windows PowerShell command line or by using a script. The following examples show how to use these two methods to create a new site link object.
Method 1: Use an existing site link object as a template for a new object. To retrieve an instance of an existing site link object, use a cmdlet such as Get-ADReplicationSiteLink. Then provide this object to the Instance parameter of the New-ADReplicationSiteLink cmdlet to create a new site link object. You can override property values of the new object by setting the appropriate parameters.
$objectInstance = Get-ADReplicationSiteLink -Identity "NorthAmerica-SouthAmerica"
New-ADReplicationSiteLink -Name "Europe-Asia" -Instance $ObjectInstance
Method 2: Create a new ADReplicationSiteLink and set the property values by using the Windows PowerShell command line interface. Then pass this object to the Instance parameter of the New-ADReplicationSiteLink cmdlet to create the new Active Directory object.
$objectInstance = new-object Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADReplicationSiteLink
$objectInstance.Description = "Between North America and South America."
New-ADReplicationSiteLink -Name "NorthAmerica-SouthAmerica"-Instance $ObjectInstance
Note: Specified attributes are not validated, so attempting to set attributes that do not exist or cannot be set will raise an error.
| Type: | ADReplicationSiteLink |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-PassThru
Returns the new or modified object. By default (i.e. if -PassThru is not specified), this cmdlet does not generate any output.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Remove
Specifies that the cmdlet remove values of an object property. Use this parameter to remove one or more values of a property that cannot be modified using a cmdlet parameter. To remove an object property, you must use the LDAP display name. You can remove more than one property by specifying a semicolon-separated list. The format for this parameter is
-Remove @{Attribute1LDAPDisplayName=value[]; Attribute2LDAPDisplayName=value[]}
For example, if you want to add the values blue and green and remove the value pink from a property with a LDAP display name of FavColors, set the Add and Remove parameters as follows.
-Add @{FavColors=Blue,Green} -Remove {FavColors=Pink}
When you use the Add, Remove, Replace and Clear parameters together, the parameters will be applied in the following sequence:
..Remove
..Add
..Replace
..Clear
| Type: | Hashtable |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Replace
Specifies values for an object property that will replace the current values. Use this parameter to replace one or more values of a property that cannot be modified using a cmdlet parameter. To modify an object property, you must use the LDAP display name. You can modify more than one property by specifying a comma-separated list. The format for this parameter is
-Replace @{Attribute1LDAPDisplayName=value[], Attribute2LDAPDisplayName=value[]}
For example, if you want to replace the value "555-222-2222" with the values "555-222-1111" for Phone-Office-Other attribute (LDAP display name 'otherTelephone') set the Replace parameter as follows.
-Replace @{otherTelephone='555-222-2222', '555-222-1111'}
When you use the Add, Remove, Replace and Clear parameters together, the operations will be performed in the following order:
..Remove
..Add
..Replace
..Clear
| Type: | Hashtable |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ReplicationFrequencyInMinutes
Species the frequency (in minutes) for which replication will occur where this site link is in use between sites. Active Directory preserves bandwidth between sites by minimizing the frequency of replication and by allowing you to schedule the availability of site links for replication. By default, intersite replication across each site link occurs every 180 minutes (3 hours). You can adjust this frequency to match your specific needs. Be aware that increasing this frequency increases the amount of bandwidth used by replication.
| Type: | Int32 |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ReplicationSchedule
Specifies the default replication schedule for any connections within this site link (intra-site replication). This allows you to schedule the availability of site links for use by replication. By default, a site link is available to carry replication traffic 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can limit this schedule to specific days of the week and times of day. You can, for example, schedule intersite replication so that it only occurs after normal business hours.
| Type: | ActiveDirectorySchedule |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Server
Specifies the Active Directory Domain Services instance to connect to, by providing one of the following values for a corresponding domain name or directory server. The service may be any of the following: Active Directory Lightweight Domain Services, Active Directory Domain Services or Active Directory Snapshot instance.
Domain name values:
Fully qualified domain name
Examples: corp.contoso.com
NetBIOS name
Example: CORP
Directory server values:
Fully qualified directory server name
Example: corp-DC12.corp.contoso.com
NetBIOS name
Example: corp-DC12
Fully qualified directory server name and port
Example: corp-DC12.corp.contoso.com:3268
The default value for the Server parameter is determined by one of the following methods in the order that they are listed:
-By using Server value from objects passed through the pipeline.
-By using the server information associated with the Active Directory PowerShell provider drive, when running under that drive.
-By using the domain of the computer running Powershell.
The following example shows how to specify a full qualified domain name as the parameter value.
-Server "corp.contoso.com"
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-SitesIncluded
Specifies the list of sites included in the site link. For Set-ADReplicationSiteLink operations, you can add or include new sites within an existing site link by specifying them using this parameter. You do not have to specify all previously listed sites already within this link.
| Type: | Hashtable |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-WhatIf
Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Aliases: | wi |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | False |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
