How to Check DFS replication state

Intro

• OS : Windows 2012R2, 2016, 2019

From Windows server, it's not that simple to check DFS replication state. I don't think we can see it from a graphical window. So after some researches I found that we can have some informations from the command line.

Commands

• Options :
• /SMem : The DNS name of the sender.
• /RMem : The DNS name of the receiver.
• /RGName : Replication group name.
• /RFName : Replication folder name.

• Know number of files to replicate from SRV01 to SRV02

 C:\Users\Administrator> dfsrdiag backlog /SMem:srv01 /RGName:domaine.local\dfs\partage /RFName:partage /RMem:srv02

• Print current updates

 C:\Users\Administrator> dfsrdiag replicationstate /Mem:srv01

 C:\Users\Administrator> dfsrdiag replicationstate /all
