NAME Get-ADReplicationQueueOperation



SYNOPSIS

Returns the contents of the replication queue for a specified server.





SYNTAX

Get-ADReplicationQueueOperation [-Server] <String> [[-Partition] <String[]>] [-AuthType {Negotiate | Basic}]

[-Credential <PSCredential>] [-Filter <String>] [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

The Get-ADReplicationQueueOperation cmdlet returns all of the pending operations in the replication queue. While

replication operations are pending, this cmdlet can be useful for determining the status of queued operations.



The Get-ADReplicationQueueOperation cmdlet can be called from script to watch and observe when operations get

moved out of the queue as they are replicated. It also allows for filtering on any of the properties on the

ADReplicationOperation object.



The replication queue operates in the following manner: suppose a domain controller has five inbound replication

connections. As the domain controller formulates change requests, either by a schedule being reached or from a

notification, it adds a work item for each request to the end of the queue of pending synchronization requests.

Each pending synchronization request represents one <source domain controller, directory partition> pair, such as

"synchronize the schema directory partition from DC1," or "delete the ApplicationX directory partition."



When a work item has been received into the queue, notification and polling intervals do not apply. Instead, the

domain controller processes the item (begins synchronizing from its source) as soon as the work item reaches the

front of the replication queue. This process continues until either the destination is fully synchronized with the

source domain controller, an error occurs, or the synchronization is pre-empted by a higher-priority operation.





PARAMETERS

-AuthType <ADAuthType>

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



Required? false

Position? named

Default value Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.AuthType.Negotiate

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Credential <PSCredential>

Specifies a user account that has permission to perform this action. The default is the current user.



Type a user name, such as "User01" or "Domain01\\User01", or enter a PSCredential object, such as one generated

by the Get-Credential cmdlet. If you type a user name, you will be prompted for a password.



This parameter is not supported by any providers installed with Windows PowerShell.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Filter <String>

Specifies a filter in the provider's format or language. The value of this parameter qualifies the Path

parameter. The syntax of the filter, including the use of wildcards, depends on the provider. Filters are more

efficient than other parameters, because the provider applies them when retrieving the objects, rather than

having Windows PowerShell filter the objects after they are retrieved.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Partition <String[]>

Specifies the distinguished name of an Active Directory partition. The distinguished name must be one of the

naming contexts on the current directory server. The cmdlet searches this partition to find the object defined

by the Identity parameter.



The following two examples show how to specify a value for this parameter.



-Partition "CN=Configuration,DC=EUROPE,DC=TEST,DC=CONTOSO,DC=COM"



-Partition "CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=EUROPE,DC=TEST,DC=CONTOSO,DC=COM"



In many cases, a default value will be used for the Partition parameter if no value is specified. The rules

for determining the default value are given below. Note that rules listed first are evaluated first and once

a default value can be determined, no further rules will be evaluated.



In AD DS environments, a default value for Partition will be set in the following cases: - If the Identity

parameter is set to a distinguished name, the default value of Partition is automatically generated from this

distinguished name.



- If running cmdlets from an Active Directory provider drive, the default value of Partition is automatically

generated from the current path in the drive.



- If none of the previous cases apply, the default value of Partition will be set to the default partition or

naming context of the target domain.



In AD LDS environments, a default value for Partition will be set in the following cases:



- If the Identity parameter is set to a distinguished name, the default value of Partition is automatically

generated from this distinguished name.



- If running cmdlets from an Active Directory provider drive, the default value of Partition is automatically

generated from the current path in the drive.



- If the target AD LDS instance has a default naming context, the default value of Partition will be set to

the default naming context. To specify a default naming context for an AD LDS environment, set the

msDS-defaultNamingContext property of the Active Directory directory service agent (DSA) object (nTDSDSA) for

the AD LDS instance.



- If none of the previous cases apply, the Partition parameter will not take any default value.



Required? false

Position? 3

Default value DefaultNC; Provider: Default is to use the Partition that you are currently in.

Else, use DefaultNC (IE: If you are in the RootDSE)

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Server <String>

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 Windows PowerShell.



The following example shows how to specify a full qualified domain name as the parameter value.



-Server "corp.contoso.com"



Required? true

Position? 2

Default value

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false
