[<CommonParameters>]Description
The Get-DfsnRoot cmdlet gets configuration settings for Distributed File System (DFS) namespaces. You can specify DFS namespaces by using a standalone or domain-based namespace path, by using a server, or by using a domain. Use this cmdlet without parameters to see information on all DFS namespaces. You can make changes to DFS settings by using the Set-DfsnRoot cmdlet.
For more information about DFS namespaces, see Overview of DFS Namespaces on TechNet.
Examples
Example 1: Get DFS namespace configuration settings
PS C:\> Get-DfsnRoot -Path "\\Contoso\AccountingResources" | Format-List
Path : \\Contoso\AccountingResources
Description :
Type : Standalone
State : Online
Flags : Site Costing
TimeToLiveSec : 300
This command gets configuration settings for the namespace that has the Path \\Contoso\AccountingResources.
The command uses the
Format-List
cmdlet to format the output.
For more information about this cmdlet, type
Get-Help Format-List
.
Example 2: Get all DFS namespaces for a domain
PS C:\> Get-DfsnRoot -Domain "Contoso.com"This command gets all the DFS namespaces hosted in the domain Contoso.com.
Optional Parameters
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt.
You can continue to work in the session while the job completes.
To manage the job, use the
*-Job
cmdlets.
To get the job results, use the
Receive-Job
cmdlet.
For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs .
