Description

The Move-DfsnFolder cmdlet moves or renames a Distributed File System (DFS) namespace folder.

For more information about DFS namespaces, see Overview of DFS Namespaces on TechNet.

Examples

Example 1: Move a folder

Move-DfsnFolder -Path '\\Contoso\Western\Development\DesignDocuments' -NewPath '\\Contoso\Western\HumanResources\DesignDocuments'

This command moves the folder DesignDocuments to the location \\Contoso\Western\HumanResources. After you run this command, the folder \\Contoso\Western\Development\DesignDocuments no longer exists.

Example 2: Rename a folder

Move-DfsnFolder -Path '\\Contoso\AccountingSoftware\Software' -NewPath '\\Contoso\AccountingSoftware\LegacySoftware'

This command renames the folder Software in the \\Contoso\AccountingSoftware folder. The new name is \\Contoso\AccountingSoftware\LegacySoftware.

Parameters

-AsJob

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.

Accept wildcard characters:False

-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.

-Force

Moves or renames a DFS namespace folder without prompting you for confirmation. By default, the cmdlet prompts you for confirmation before it proceeds.

Type:SwitchParameter

-NewPath

Specifies a path for the DFS namespace folder. This cmdlet moves or renames the folder to have the path specified. Do not specify an existing DFS namespace folder.

-ThrottleLimit

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.

Type:Int32
