   [[-FileName] <String>]
   [[-BackupPath] <String>]
   [-BackupInterval <UInt32>]
   [-CleanupInterval <UInt32>]
   [-RestoreFromBackup <Boolean>]
   [-ComputerName <String>]
   [-PassThru]
   [-CimSession <CimSession[]>]
   [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>]
   [-AsJob]
   [-WhatIf]
   [-Confirm]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Set-DhcpServerDatabase cmdlet modifies one or more configuration parameters of the database of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server service.

Examples

Example 1: Modify values for the DHCP server service

PS C:\> Set-DhcpServerDatabase -ComputerName "dhcpserver.contoso.com" -FileName "D:\NewDhcpPath\dhcp.mdb" -BackupPath "D:\NewDhcpPath\backup" -BackupInterval 30 -CleanupInterval 120

This example sets the file name to D:\NewDhcpPath\dhcp.mdb and the backup path to D:\NewDhcpPath\backup. This cmdlet also sets the periodicity of the database backup to 30 minutes and the periodic cleanup of the database to 120 minutes.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete. The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet. For more information about Windows PowerShell® background jobs, see about_Jobs.

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Type:Int32
