NAME Get-ADReplicationSiteLink
SYNOPSIS
Returns a specific Active Directory site link or a set of site links based on a specified filter.
SYNTAX
Get-ADReplicationSiteLink [-AuthType {Negotiate | Basic}] [-Credential <PSCredential>] [-Properties <String[]>]
[-Server <String>] -Filter <String> [<CommonParameters>]
Get-ADReplicationSiteLink [-Identity] <ADReplicationSiteLink> [-AuthType {Negotiate | Basic}] [-Credential
<PSCredential>] [-Properties <String[]>] [-Server <String>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
The Get-ADReplicationSiteLink cmdlet can be used to return a specific Active Directory site link or a set of site
links based on a specified filter. 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.
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 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.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Filter <String>
Specifies a query string that retrieves Active Directory objects. This string uses the PowerShell Expression
Language syntax. The PowerShell Expression Language syntax provides rich type-conversion support for value
types received by the Filter parameter. The syntax uses an in-order representation, which means that the
operator is placed between the operand and the value. For more information about the Filter parameter, see
about_ActiveDirectory_Filter.
Syntax:
The following syntax uses Backus-Naur form to show how to use the PowerShell Expression Language for this
parameter.
<filter> ::= "{" <FilterComponentList> "}"
<FilterComponentList> ::= <FilterComponent> | <FilterComponent> <JoinOperator> <FilterComponent> |
<NotOperator> <FilterComponent>
<FilterComponent> ::= <attr> <FilterOperator> <value> | "(" <FilterComponent> ")"
<FilterOperator> ::= "-eq" | "-le" | "-ge" | "-ne" | "-lt" | "-gt"| "-approx" | "-bor" | "-band" |
"-recursivematch" | "-like" | "-notlike"
<JoinOperator> ::= "-and" | "-or"
<NotOperator> ::= "-not"
<attr> ::= <PropertyName> | <LDAPDisplayName of the attribute>
<value>::= <compare this value with an <attr> by using the specified <FilterOperator>>
For a list of supported types for <value>, see about_ActiveDirectory_ObjectModel.
Note: To query using LDAP query strings, use the LDAPFilter parameter.
Required? true
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Identity <ADReplicationSiteLink>
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
Required? true
Position? 1
Default value
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Properties <String[]>
Specifies the properties of the output object to retrieve from the server. Use this parameter to retrieve
properties that are not included in the default set.
Specify properties for this parameter as a comma-separated list of names. To display all of the attributes
that are set on the object, specify * (asterisk).
To specify an individual extended property, use the name of the property. For properties that are not default
or extended properties, you must specify the LDAP display name of the attribute.
To retrieve properties and display them for an object, you can use the Get-* cmdlet associated with the object
and pass the output to the Get-Member cmdlet. The following examples show how to retrieve properties for a
group where the Administrator's group is used as the sample group object.
Get-ADGroup -Identity Administrators | Get-Member
To retrieve and display the list of all the properties for an ADGroup object, use the following command:
Get-ADGroup -Identity Administrators -Properties *| Get-Member
The following examples show how to use the Properties parameter to retrieve individual properties as well as
the default, extended or complete set of properties.
To retrieve the extended properties "OfficePhone" and "Organization" and the default properties of an ADUser
object named "SaraDavis", use the following command:
GetADUser -Identity SaraDavis -Properties OfficePhone,Organization
To retrieve the properties with LDAP display names of "otherTelephone" and "otherMobile", in addition to the
default properties for the same user, use the following command:
GetADUser -Identity SaraDavis -Properties otherTelephone, otherMobile |Get-Member
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
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? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false

ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see
