Description
The New-DfsnFolderTarget cmdlet adds a target to a Distributed File System (DFS) namespace folder. Specify the DFS namespace folder and the folder target. You can set the state of the DFS namespace target and configure priority class and priority rank for referrals.
A DFS namespace folder has one or more folder targets that are shared folders on computers. When a client attempts to connect to a folder, the DFS namespace server provides a list of folder targets, called referrals. The server determines the order for referrals and clients attempt to connect to a folder target in the order that the server provides.
For more information about DFS namespaces, see Overview of DFS Namespaces on TechNet.
Examples
Example 1: Add a target
New-DfsnFolderTarget -Path '\\Contoso\AccountingResources\LegacySoftware' -TargetPath '\\Contoso-FS\Software' -ReferralPriorityClass 'GlobalLow'
This command adds \\Contoso-FS\Software as a target for the DFS namespace folder
\\Contoso\AccountingResources\LegacySoftware with a referral priority of global low.
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.
Parameter properties
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-CimSession
Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.
Parameter properties
| Type: | |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
| Aliases: | Session |
Parameter sets
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
Parameter properties
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Default value: | False |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
| Aliases: | cf |
Parameter sets
-Path
Specifies a path of the DFS namespace folder. This cmdlet adds a target for the folder that has the path specified.
Parameter properties
| Type: | String |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
| Aliases: | DfsPath, FolderPath, NamespacePath |
Parameter sets
-ReferralPriorityClass
Specifies the priority class for a DFS namespace folder target. Target priority offers you the ability to classify and rank in-site targets. You can specify targets to receive the highest or lowest preference, and you can divide the remaining targets based on their site cost for a DFS client to connect to them. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
GlobalHigh- The highest priority class for a DFS target. Targets assigned this class receive global preference.SiteCostHigh- The highest site cost priority class for a DFS target. Targets assigned this class receive the most preference among targets of the same site cost for a given DFS client.SiteCostNormal- The middle or normal site cost priority class for a DFS target.SiteCostLow- The lowest site cost priority class for a DFS target. Targets assigned this class receive the least preference among targets of the same site cost for a given DFS client.GlobalLow- The lowest level of priority class for a DFS target. Targets assigned this class receive the least preference globally.
Parameter properties
| Type: | Microsoft.PowerShell.Cmdletization.GeneratedTypes.DfsNamespaceRootTarget.ReferralPriorityClass |
| Default value: | None |
| Accepted values: | SiteCostNormal, GlobalHigh, SiteCostHigh, SiteCostLow, GlobalLow |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
| Aliases: | PriorityClass, Class |
Parameter sets
-ReferralPriorityRank
Specifies the priority rank, as an integer, for a target of the DFS namespace folder. Lower values have greater preference. A value of zero (0) is the greatest preference.
Parameter properties
| Type: | UInt32 |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
| Aliases: | PriorityRank, Rank |
Parameter sets
-State
Specifies the state of the DFS namespace root target. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
OnlineOffline
Clients do not receive referrals for a DFS namespace folder target that is offline.
Parameter properties
| Type: | Microsoft.PowerShell.Cmdletization.GeneratedTypes.DfsNamespaceRootTarget.State |
| Default value: | None |
| Accepted values: | Offline, Online |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-TargetPath
Specifies a path for a target of the DFS namespace folder. This cmdlet adds this path specified as the folder target.
Parameter properties
| Type: | String |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
| Aliases: | Target, DfsTarget, FolderTarget |
Parameter sets
-ThrottleLimit
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.
Parameter properties
| Type: | Int32 |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-WhatIf
Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
Parameter properties
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Default value: | False |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
