NAME Publish-BCFileContent
SYNOPSIS
Generates hashes for files in shared folders.
SYNTAX
Publish-BCFileContent [-Path] <String[]> [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-Force] [-Recurse] [-ReferenceFile <String>] [-StageData] [-StagingPath
<String>] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] [-UseVersion <UInt32>] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
The Publish-BCFileContent cmdlet generates hashes, also called content information, for files in shared folders on file servers that have
BranchCache enabled and the BranchCache for Network Files role service installed.
This cmdlet is also used to stage data for the creation of a data preloading package. Run this cmdlet with the StageData parameter on one or more
collections of files. Run the Export-BCCachePackage cmdlet to produce a data package that contains all the staged data. You can import that data
package on remote hosted cache computers.
PARAMETERS
-CimSession [<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.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Force [<SwitchParameter>]
Forces the command to run without asking for user confirmation.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Path <String[]>
Specifies the file path or the path of a folder that contains files that this cmdlet hashes.
Required? true
Position? 2
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Recurse [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates that hashes are created for content in subfolders. If you do not specify this parameter, this cmdlet creates hashes only for content
in the top folder.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ReferenceFile [<String>]
Specifies a reference file from a previous run. A reference file contains a list of identifiers that describe the data in a data package. If
you specify a reference file, this cmdlet excludes all data described in that file from the output. You can use a reference files to create
data packages that only contain the changes from the previous time a data package was created.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-StageData [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates that this cmdlet saves data to a staging area for future export using the Export-BCCachePackage cmdlet. If you do not specify this
parameter, hashes are generated for data, but the data is not prepared for export.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-StagingPath [<String>]
Specifies a temporary folder to which this cmdlet saves the staging data. If you do not specify a location, this cmdlet uses a default
location on the local hard disk. Use this parameter if a large data package is being created that must be housed on a separate hard disk.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ThrottleLimit [<Int32>]
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.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-UseVersion [<UInt32>]
Specifies the version of the BranchCache hashing scheme to use. If the version specified is 1, content information is generated according to
the scheme used by firstref_client_7 clients. If version specified is 2, content information is generated according to the more efficient
hashing scheme used by client computers that run operating systems later than Windows????7.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value false
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]
Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value false
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see
about_CommonParameters (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).
INPUTS
None
OUTPUTS
None
Example 1: Hash the contents of a folder for export
PS C:\\>Publish-BCFileContent -Path "D:\\share" -StageData
This command hashes the contents of D:\\share and adds the data to a cache package that can later be exported and sent to a remote hosted cache
server.
