Microsoft DFSR reference: Changes the settings of a connection schedule between members of a replication group. The syntax and selected example below are adapted from the pinned Windows Server 2025 reference. Module availability, target configuration and delegated permissions determine whether it can run in your environment. Documentation and parameter text: Microsoft, CC BY 4.0; formatting adapted by Cmdlet World. No execution testing is claimed.
Use an account with the target resource permissions documented for Set-DfsrConnectionSchedule. Modifying administrative cmdlets may require elevation or delegated administration. This catalog does not assert that ordinary users can execute the command.

Parameters
-BandwidthDetail (required)
Specifies a custom schedule value string. The schedule value defines the settings for each 15-minute interval block with its bandwidth, with 4 blocks to a set, where each set represents 1 hour. There are 24 sets. The time starts at 00:00 and ends at 24:00. The valid settings on a 15-minute block are 0 (zero) through F, using hexadecimal. The following shows the mapping of the valid settings: 0 = No replication 1 = 16 kilobits per second (Kbps) 2 = 64 Kbps 3 = 128 Kbps 4 = 256 Kbps 5 = 512 Kbps 6 = 1 megabit per second (Mbps) 7 = 2 Mbps 8 = 4 Mbps 9 = 8 Mbps A = 16 Mbps B = 32 Mbps C = 64 Mbps D = 128 Mbps E = 256 Mbps F = Full bandwidth replication A complete value string must include all 24 sets with 4 blocks to a set, for a total of 96 hexadecimal characters. For example: ffffffffffff0000ffff0000ffff00004444000044440000444400004444000044440000ffff0000ffff0000ffffffff
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
-Day (required)
Specifies an array of days of the week. You can specify either an enumerated string value or its corresponding integer for this parameter. The acceptable values for this parameter are: - Sunday (0) - Monday (1) - Tuesday (2) - Wednesday (3) - Thursday (4) - Friday (5) - Saturday (6)
-DestinationComputerName (required)
Specifies the name of the receiving computer. A receiving computer is also called an inbound or downstream computer.
-DomainName
Specifies the NetBIOS name or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the Active Directory Domain Service (AD DS) domain that contains the replication group. If you do not specify this parameter, the cmdlet uses the domain of the current user.
-GroupName
Specifies an array of names of replication groups. You can use a comma separated list and the wildcard character (*).
-ScheduleType
Specifies the type of connection schedule. You can specify the inherited replication group schedule, a connection-based closed schedule that allows no replication, or a connection-based full schedule that enables replication for 24 hours a day, seven days a week using full bandwidth. You can specify either an enumerated string value or its corresponding integer for this parameter. The acceptable values for this parameter are: - UseGroupSchedule (0) - Never (1) - Always (2)
-SourceComputerName (required)
Specifies the name of the sending computer. A sending computer is also called an outbound or upstream computer.
-UseUTC
Indicates whether the destination computer uses Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for the schedule. By default, the destination computer interprets the schedule in its own local time.
-WhatIf
Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
Prerequisites
Windows with the DFSR module and the Windows feature or management tools that provide it. Confirm target connectivity and version compatibility using the linked Microsoft reference.
Security considerations
This cmdlet changes system state. Review every target and parameter in the official reference, test outside production, and prepare an appropriate backup or rollback. Do not execute the example automatically.
This command configures the connection schedule from the server named SRV01 to the server named SRV02 in the RG24 replication group. The *ScheduleType* parameter specifies a full schedule that enables replication 24 hours a day, seven days a week that uses full bandwidth.
