Replication Groups Discovery

Microsoft.Windows.FileServer.DFSR.ReplicationGroupDiscovery (Discovery)

This rule discovers replication groups on the monitored server.

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This rule discovers replication groups on the monitored server. This discovery rule queries the DfsrLocalMemberInfo WMI class to find the replication groups and to discover properties of the groups such as the following:

Configuration

This discovery rule requires all computers hosting replicated folders to be enabled to act as an agent proxy. To enable the Agent Proxy setting, use the following procedure:

1. Open the Operations console and then click Administration.

2. In the Administration pane, click Agent Managed.

3. Double-click the server that you want to monitor.

4. Click the Security tab.

5. Select Allow this agent to act as a proxy and discover managed objects on other computers.

6. Repeat steps three through five for each server running DFS Replication.
