New-ADReplicationSiteLinkBridge

Specifies the authentication method to use. Possible values for this parameter include:

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.

The following example shows how to set this parameter to Basic.

-AuthType Basic

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Specifies the user account credentials to use to perform this task. The default credentials are the credentials of the currently logged on user unless the cmdlet is run from an Active Directory PowerShell provider drive. If the cmdlet is run from such a provider drive, the account associated with the drive is the default.

To specify this parameter, you can type a user name, such as "User1" or "Domain01\User01" or you can specify a PSCredential object. If you specify a user name for this parameter, the cmdlet prompts for a password.

You can also create a PSCredential object by using a script or by using the Get-Credential cmdlet. You can then set the Credential parameter to the PSCredential object The following example shows how to create credentials.

$AdminCredentials = Get-Credential "Domain01\User01"

The following shows how to set the Credential parameter to these credentials.

-Credential $AdminCredentials

If the acting credentials do not have directory-level permission to perform the task, Active Directory PowerShell returns a terminating error.

Specifies a description of the object. This parameter sets the value of the Description property for the object. The LDAP Display Name (ldapDisplayName) for this property is "description".

Specifies an instance of a site link bridge object to use as a template for a new site link bridge object.

You can use an instance of an existing site link bridge object as a template or you can construct a new site link bridge object by using the Windows PowerShell command line or by using a script. The following examples show how to use these two methods to create a new site link bridge object.

Method 1: Use an existing site link bridge object as a template for a new object. To retrieve an instance of an existing Active Directory object, use the Get-ADReplicationSiteLinkBridge cmdlet. Then provide this object to the Instance parameter of the New-ADReplicationSiteLinkBridge cmdlet to create a new site link bridge object. You can override property values of the new object by setting the appropriate parameters.

$objectInstance = Get-ADReplicationSiteLinkBridge -Identity "NorthAmerica-Asia"

New-ADReplicationSiteLinkBridge -Name "SouthAmerica-Asia" -Instance $ObjectInstance

Method 2: Create a new ADReplicationSiteLinkBridge and set the property values by using the Windows PowerShell command line interface. Then pass this object to the Instance parameter of the New-ADReplicationSiteLinkBridge cmdlet to create the new site link bridge object.

$objectInstance = new-object Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADReplicationSiteLinkBridge

$objectInstance.Description = "Between North America and Asia."

New-ADReplicationSiteLinkBridge -Name "NorthAmerica-Asia" -Instance $ObjectInstance

Note: Specified attributes are not validated, so attempting to set attributes that do not exist or cannot be set will raise an error.

Specifies the valid InterSite Transport Protocol for use with this site link bridge. Acceptable options for this parameter include the following:

• IP
• SMTP

Specifies the name of the replication site link bridge object.

Specifies object attribute values for attributes that are not represented by cmdlet parameters. You can set one or more parameters at the same time with this parameter. If an attribute takes more than one value, you can assign multiple values. To identify an attribute, specify the LDAPDisplayName (ldapDisplayName) defined for it in the Active Directory schema.

Syntax:

To specify a single value for an attribute:

-OtherAttributes @{'AttributeLDAPDisplayName'=value}

To specify multiple values for an attribute

-OtherAttributes @{'AttributeLDAPDisplayName'=value1,value2,...}

You can specify values for more than one attribute by using semicolons to separate attributes. The following syntax shows how to set values for multiple attributes:

-OtherAttributes @{'Attribute1LDAPDisplayName'=value; 'Attribute2LDAPDisplayName'=value1,value2;...}

The following examples show how to use this parameter.

To set the value of a custom attribute called favColors that takes a set of Unicode strings, use the following syntax:

-OtherAttributes @{'favColors'="pink","purple"}

To set values for favColors and dateOfBirth simultaneously, use the following syntax:

-OtherAttributes @{'favColors'="pink","purple"; 'dateOfBirth'=" 01/01/1960"}

Returns the new or modified object. By default (i.e. if -PassThru is not specified), this cmdlet does not generate any output.

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.

Domain name values:

Fully qualified domain name

Examples: corp.contoso.com

NetBIOS name

Example: CORP

Directory server values:

Fully qualified directory server name

Example: corp-DC12.corp.contoso.com

NetBIOS name

Example: corp-DC12

Fully qualified directory server name and port

Example: corp-DC12.corp.contoso.com:3268

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

-By using Server value from objects passed through the pipeline.

-By using the server information associated with the Active Directory PowerShell provider drive, when running under that drive.

-By using the domain of the computer running Powershell.

The following example shows how to specify a full qualified domain name as the parameter value.

-Server "corp.contoso.com"

Contains an array of site links that are included in this site link bridge. Accepted values for this parameter are the distinguished name (DN), a GUID, or the name of a site link. This parameter must contain two sites upon creation or else the Instance parameter must be included and used.

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
