You can check the state of DFS-Replication by using the DFSRDiag command. If replication was in progress, you would see these results
dfsrdiag RepliationState
Updates served:
Summary
This must be ran on a server with DFS installed on it. Your exact results will depend on what is being transferred.
To do this in PowerShell, I created a function that sends a value of True into the pipeline if DFS replication is active and False if it is not. Here is the code:
dfsrdiag RepliationState

<# .SYNOPSIS Test to determine if DFS replication is in progress .DESCRIPTION Returns [Boolean]TRUE if replication is in progress. Returns [Boolean]FALSE if replication is not in progress. .EXAMPLE Test-DFSRProgress True The example returned True. That means DFS replication is in progress. .NOTES This function can only be executed on a server with DFS installed. It will only test for DFS replication to and from this executing server. .LINK Invoke-Command #> Function Test-DFSRProgress { # Execute the MS Dos command "DFSRDiag ReplicatoinState" # and store the output in the variable $DFSRInfo. $DFSRInfo = Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock {DFSRDiag ReplicationState} # Test to see if the output has the below strings in it. # if it does not, then replication is in progress. If ($DFSRInfo -like "*Active inbound connections: 0*" -and $DFSRInfo -like "*Active outbound connections: 0*") {Write-Output $False} Else {Write-Output $True} }
