DESCRIPTION

The Set-ADReplicationSiteLinkBridge object sets the properties for a replication site link bridge in Active

Directory. A site link bridge connects two or more site links and enables transitivity between site links. Each

site link in a bridge must have a site in common with another site link in the bridge.





PARAMETERS

-Add <Hashtable>

Specifies values to add to an object property. Use this parameter to add one or more values to a property that

cannot be modified using a cmdlet parameter. To modify an object property, you must use the LDAP display name.

You can specify multiple values to a property by specifying a comma-separated list of values and more than one

property by separating them using a semicolon.. The format for this parameter is



-Add @{Attribute1LDAPDisplayName=value1, value2, ...; Attribute2LDAPDisplayName=value1, value2, ...;

AttributeNLDAPDisplayName=value1, value2, ...}



For example, if you want to remove the value "555-222-2222" and add the values "555-222-1111" and

"555-222-3333" to Phone-Office-Other attribute (LDAP display name 'otherTelephone'), and add the value

"555-222-9999" to Phone-Mobile-Other (LDAP display name 'otherMobile'), set the Add and Remove parameters as

follows.



-Add @{otherTelephone='555-222-1111', '555-222-3333'; otherMobile='555-222-9999' } -Remove

@{otherTelephone='555-222-2222'}



When you use the Add, Remove, Replace and Clear parameters together, the operations will be performed in the

following order:



..Remove



..Add



..Replace



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-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



-Clear <String[]>

Specifies an array of object properties that will be cleared in the directory. Use this parameter to clear one

or more values of a property that cannot be modified using a cmdlet parameter. To modify an object property,

you must use the LDAP display name. You can modify more than one property by specifying a comma-separated

list. The format for this parameter is



-Clear Attribute1LDAPDisplayName, Attribute2LDAPDisplayName



For example, if you want to clear the value for the Phone-Office-Other attribute (LDAP display name

'otherTelephone') set the Clear parameter as follows.



-Clear otherTelephone



When you use the Add, Remove, Replace and Clear parameters together, the operations will be performed in the

following order:



..Remove



..Add



..Replace



..Clear



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

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



-Description <String>

Specifies a description of the object. This parameter sets the value of the Description property for the

object. The LDAP Display Name (ldapDisplayName) for this property is "description".



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Identity <ADReplicationSiteLinkBridge>

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-Asia,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



-Instance <ADReplicationSiteLinkBridge>

Specifies an instance of a site link bridge object to use as a template for a new site link bridge object.



You can use an instance of an existing site link bridge object as a template or you can construct a new site

link bridge object by using the Windows PowerShell command line or by using a script. The following examples

show how to use these two methods to create a new site link bridge object.



Method 1: Use an existing site link bridge object as a template for a new object. To retrieve an instance of

an existing site link bridge object, use a cmdlet such as Get-ADReplicationSiteLinkBridge. Then provide this

object to the Instance parameter of the New-ADReplicationSiteLinkBridge cmdlet to create a new site link

bridge object. You can override property values of the new object by setting the appropriate parameters.



$objectInstance = Get-ADReplicationSiteLinkBridge -Identity "NorthAmerica-Asia"



New-ADReplicationSiteLinkBridge -Name "SouthAmerica-Asia" -Instance $ObjectInstance



Method 2: Create a new ADReplicationSiteLinkBridge and set the property values by using the Windows PowerShell

command line interface. Then pass this object to the Instance parameter of the New-ADReplicationSiteLinkBridge

cmdlet to create the new Active Directory object.



$objectInstance = new-object Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADReplicationSiteLinkBridge



$objectInstance.Description = Between North America and Asia."



New-ADReplicationSiteLinkBridge -Name "NorthAmerica-Asia" -Instance $ObjectInstance



Note: Specified attributes are not validated, so attempting to set attributes that do not exist or cannot be

set will raise an error.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-PassThru [<SwitchParameter>]

Returns the new or modified object. By default (i.e. if -PassThru is not specified), this cmdlet does not

generate any output.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Remove <Hashtable>

Specifies that the cmdlet remove values of an object property. Use this parameter to remove one or more values

of a property that cannot be modified using a cmdlet parameter. To remove an object property, you must use the

LDAP display name. You can remove more than one property by specifying a semicolon-separated list. The format

for this parameter is



-Remove @{Attribute1LDAPDisplayName=value[]; Attribute2LDAPDisplayName=value[]}



For example, if you want to add the values blue and green and remove the value pink from a property with a

LDAP display name of FavColors, set the Add and Remove parameters as follows.



-Add @{FavColors=Blue,Green} -Remove {FavColors=Pink}



When you use the Add, Remove, Replace and Clear parameters together, the parameters will be applied in the

following sequence:



..Remove



..Add



..Replace



..Clear



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Replace <Hashtable>

Specifies values for an object property that will replace the current values. Use this parameter to replace

one or more values of a property that cannot be modified using a cmdlet parameter. To modify an object

property, you must use the LDAP display name. You can modify more than one property by specifying a

comma-separated list. The format for this parameter is



-Replace @{Attribute1LDAPDisplayName=value[], Attribute2LDAPDisplayName=value[]}



For example, if you want to replace the value "555-222-2222" with the values "555-222-1111" for

Phone-Office-Other attribute (LDAP display name 'otherTelephone') set the Replace parameter as follows.



-Replace @{otherTelephone='555-222-2222', '555-222-1111'}



When you use the Add, Remove, Replace and Clear parameters together, the operations will be performed in the

following order:

..Add



..Replace



..Clear



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false
