Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

GlobalCatalog

Optional

String

Fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of a global catalog server in your domain. This parameter is not required if you are running Enable-CsReplica on a computer with an account in your domain.

GlobalSettingDomainController

Optional

String

FQDN of a domain controller where global settings are stored. If global settings are stored in the System container in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), then this parameter must point to the root domain controller. If global settings are stored in the Configuration container, then any domain controller can be used and this parameter can be omitted.

Report

Optional

String

Enables you to specify a file path for the log file created when the cmdlet runs. For example: -Report "C:\Logs\EnableReplica.html"

Force

Optional

Switch Parameter

Suppresses the display of any non-fatal error message that might occur when running the command.

WhatIf

Optional

Switch Parameter

Describes what would happen if you executed the command without actually executing the command.

Confirm

Optional

Switch Parameter

Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command.

Detailed Description

When a service or server role is installed on a computer, that computer needs to be added to the replication path; doing so enables the computer to receive the topology and configuration files from the Central Management store. The Enable-CsReplica cmdlet provides a way for you to manually add a computer to the replication path. As a general rule, you will not need to manually add a computer to the replication path. Instead, this will automatically take place when you install Lync Server 2010 on a computer.

Who can run this cmdlet: You must be a local administrator and a member of the domain in order to run the Enable-CsReplica cmdlet locally.

Input Types

Return Types
