Hi, I was searching everywhere and couldn't find a definite answer, maybe you can help, will the get-dfsrbacklog work from 2012 R2 server for DFSR hosted on 2 different server 2008 r2 in the same domain?
i was trying to get it to work, no success, i can get other DFSR cmdlets to query the DFSR like get-dfsrreplicationgroup and get-dfsrmember but not the backlog one also i'm able to create a pssession with those 2k8r2 servers from the 2k12r2 server, this is the error i get:

Get-DfsrBacklog : Could not retrieve the backlog information. Replication group: "rg01" Replicated folder: "rf01" 
Source computer: FS02 Destination computer: FS01 Confirm that you are running in an elevated Windows PowerShell session and are 
a member of the local Administrators group on the destination computer. The destination computer must also be accessible over the 
network, and have the DFSR service running. This cmdlet does not support WMI calls for the following or earlier operating systems: 
Windows Server 2012. Details: The WS-Management service cannot process the request. The service cannot find the resource identified by 
the resource URI and selectors.

thanks :)

Hi

I did a test, the get-dfsrbacklog cmdlet doesn't work in a non-dfsr node server, but the cmdlet do work in the DFSR server.

Best Regards,

Hi Avi,

Sorry, the 3 servers under my test environment are all windows server 2012. But as the get-dfsrbacklog command was to query the files in the staging folder on the DFSR member server data base, that's why the command doesn't work on a non DFSR member server.

So, I think the issue may not much related to the system version. If you do want to use the command, you may try to remotely manage the DFSR server.

Hope it helps.

Best Regards,

Elaine
