Get-ADReplicationPartnerMetadata

Specifies the authentication method to use. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

• 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.

Specifies a user account that has permission to perform this action. The default is the current user.

Type a user name, such as User01 or Domain01\User01, or enter a PSCredential object, such as one generated by the Get-Credentialhttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=293936 cmdlet. If you type a user name, you will be prompted for a password.

This parameter is not supported by any providers installed with Windows PowerShell.

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.

Specify the instance in one of the following ways:

Domain name values:

• Fully qualified domain name
• NetBIOS name

Directory server values:

• Fully qualified directory server name
• NetBIOS name
• Fully qualified directory server name and port

The default value for this parameter is determined by one of the following methods in the order that they are listed:

• By using the Server value from objects passed through the pipeline
• By using the server information associated with the Active Directory Domain ServicesWindows PowerShell provider drive, when the cmdlet runs in that drive
• By using the domain of the computer running Windows PowerShell

Specifies a filter in the provider's format or language. The value of this parameter qualifies the Path parameter. The syntax of the filter, including the use of wildcards, depends on the provider. Filters are more efficient than other parameters, because the provider applies them when retrieving the objects, rather than having Windows PowerShell filter the objects after they are retrieved.

Specifies the distinguished name of an Active Directory partition. The distinguished name must be one of the naming contexts on the current directory server. The cmdlet searches this partition to find the object defined by the Identity parameter.

In many cases, a default value will be used for the Partition parameter if no value is specified. The rules for determining the default value are given below. Note that rules listed first are evaluated first and once a default value can be determined, no further rules will be evaluated.

In Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) environments, a default value for Partition is set in the following cases:

• If the Identity parameter is set to a distinguished name, the default value of Partition is automatically generated from this distinguished name.
• If running cmdlets from an Active Directory provider drive, the default value of Partition is automatically generated from the current path in the drive.
• If none of the previous cases apply, the default value of Partition is set to the default partition or naming context of the target domain.

In Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) environments, a default value for Partition is set in the following cases:

• If the Identity parameter is set to a distinguished name, the default value of Partition is automatically generated from this distinguished name.
• If running cmdlets from an Active Directory provider drive, the default value of Partition is automatically generated from the current path in the drive.
• If the target AD LDS instance has a default naming context, the default value of Partition is set to the default naming context. To specify a default naming context for an AD LDS environment, set the msDS-defaultNamingContext property of the Active Directory directory service agent object (nTDSDSA) for the AD LDS instance.
• If none of the previous cases apply, the Partition parameter does not take any default value.

Specifies an enumeration of the replication types returned by this cmdlet. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

• Inbound
• Outbound
• Both

Specifies the scope type for the Target parameter when used as input. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

• Server
• Site
• Domain
• Forest

Server

Site

Domain

Forest

Specifies the target for returning replication partner metadata as either one or more domain controllers, sites, domains, or forests. If multiple values for the target are to be specified, they need to be separated by commas. This parameter will return results for all the domain controllers specified or for part of the specified container.
