## Purpose
Report the DFS namespaces, folder targets, and replication configuration in the current Active Directory domain. Run the script in PowerShell with the DFSN and DFSR modules and permission to query the domain.
## Script
You may want to put together a simple table report of the DFS namespaces, replication info, and target folders. You can run the following powershell script to generate a nice table-based report of the current structure of the DFS namespaces in your domain.
??? example "Powershell Reporting Script"
```powershell
# Automatically detect current AD domain and use it as DFS prefix
try {
$Domain = ([System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Domain]::GetCurrentDomain()).Name
$DomainPrefix = "\\$Domain"
} catch {
Write-Warning "Unable to detect domain automatically. Falling back to manual value."
$DomainPrefix = "\\bunny-lab.io"
}

## Purpose
Report the directional replication backlog between the DFS member servers in the script. Set the member names to the intended deployment and run from a PowerShell session with access to its DFS replication configuration.
## Script
You may want to check that replication is occurring bi-directionally between every member server in your DFS deployment. I wrote a script below that effectively shows you every replication group and each directional backlog status.
```powershell
# --- CONFIG ---
$Members = @("LAB-FPS-01","LAB-FPS-02")
$SummarizeAcrossFolders = $true # $true = one line per direction per RG; $false = per-folder lines
function Invoke-DfsrBacklogStatus {
param(
[Parameter(Mandatory)] [string] $RG,
[Parameter(Mandatory)] [string] $RF,
[Parameter(Mandatory)] [string] $Send,
[Parameter(Mandatory)] [string] $Recv
)
$out = & dfsrdiag backlog /rgname:"$RG" /rfname:"$RF" /sendingmember:"$Send" /receivingmember:"$Recv" 2>&1 | Out-String
$outTrim = ($out -split "`r?`n" | ForEach-Object { $_.Trim() }) | Where-Object { $_ -ne "" }
if ($out -match 'No Backlog') {
return [pscustomobject]@{ Status="No Backlog"; Count=0; Detail=$null }
}
$count = $null
$countLine = $outTrim | Where-Object { $_ -match '(?i)backlog' } | Select-Object -First 1
if ($countLine -and ($countLine -match '(\d+)')) { $count = [int]$matches[1] }
$detail = ($outTrim | Select-Object -First 8) -join " | "
return [pscustomobject]@{
Status = if ($count -ne $null) { "Backlog: $count" } else { "Backlog/Check Output" }
Count = $count
Detail = $detail
}
}
$groups = Get-DfsReplicationGroup | Sort-Object GroupName
foreach ($g in $groups) {
$rg = $g.GroupName
$rfs = Get-DfsReplicatedFolder -GroupName $rg | Sort-Object FolderName
Write-Host ""
Write-Host ("== Replication Group: {0} ==" -f $rg)
foreach ($send in $Members) {
foreach ($recv in $Members) {
if ($send -eq $recv) { continue }
if ($SummarizeAcrossFolders) {
$worstCount = 0
$nonZero = @()
$errorsOrDetails = @()
foreach ($rfObj in $rfs) {
$rf = $rfObj.FolderName
$res = Invoke-DfsrBacklogStatus -RG $rg -RF $rf -Send $send -Recv $recv
if ($res.Status -ne "No Backlog") {
$nonZero += [pscustomobject]@{ RF=$rf; Status=$res.Status; Count=$res.Count; Detail=$res.Detail }
if ($res.Count -ne $null -and $res.Count -gt $worstCount) { $worstCount = $res.Count }
# ✅ FIX: ${rf} avoids the ':' parsing issue
if ($res.Detail) { $errorsOrDetails += "RF=${rf}: $($res.Detail)" }
}
}
if ($nonZero.Count -eq 0) {
Write-Host ("{0} -> {1}: No Backlog" -f $send, $recv)
} else {
if ($worstCount -gt 0) {
Write-Host ("{0} -> {1}: Backlog (max {2} across RFs)" -f $send, $recv, $worstCount)
} else {
Write-Host ("{0} -> {1}: Backlog/Errors (see details)" -f $send, $recv)
}
$errorsOrDetails | Select-Object -First 5 | ForEach-Object { Write-Host (" - {0}" -f $_) }
if ($errorsOrDetails.Count -gt 5) { Write-Host " - ... (more omitted)" }
}
}
else {
foreach ($rfObj in $rfs) {
$rf = $rfObj.FolderName
$res = Invoke-DfsrBacklogStatus -RG $rg -RF $rf -Send $send -Recv $recv
if ($res.Status -eq "No Backlog") {

}
}
}
}
```
!!! example "Example Output"
You will see output like the following when you run the script.
```powershell
