I am attempting to gather some information about multiple DPM servers via powershell.

Firstly I assign the Protection Group I am interested in to $pg, then set the $po variable to the the Policy Objective information about that Protection Group

PS C:\> $pg = Get-DPMProtectionGroup -DPMServerName DPMserver | Where-Object {$_.FriendlyName -eq "BMR protection"}

PS C:\> $po = Get-DPMPolicyObjective -ProtectionGroup $pg -shortterm

Finally I type $po interactively at the console and get this response:

PS C:\> $po

Retention Range                                             Synchronization Frequency
---------------                                             -------------------------
15 day(s)                                                   Before recovery point

Now the information I am interested in is listed under the "Synchronization Frequency" column. However I have no idea how to reference this!

I assumed it would be a Property of the $po object... but as you can see below that is not the case.

Am I missing something obvious here? Where is the value of "Synchronization Frequency" stored?

PS C:\> $po | Get-Member -MemberType properties

       TypeName: Microsoft.Internal.EnterpriseStorage.Dls.UI.ObjectModel.OMCommon.OnsiteIntentGenerator

    Name              MemberType Definition
    ----              ---------- ----------

  • Is there a return from `$po."Synchronization Frequency"` – Matt Feb 03 '15 at 04:12
  • @Matt thanks, i actually tried that already - but unfortunately it does not return anything: `PS C:\> $po."Synchronization Frequency" PS C:\>` – e395239 Feb 03 '15 at 04:15
  • Another shot in the dark then. Is it possible what you are looking for is a different `membertype`? What about `$po | Get-Member` – Matt Feb 03 '15 at 04:31
  • @Matt - there are a few methods -> see [pastebin link](http://pastebin.com/j862TqgL) – e395239 Feb 03 '15 at 04:38
  • If no one else knows this will help lead you to the default property set. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powershell/archive/2010/02/18/psstandardmembers-the-stealth-property.aspx. If I had to guess it is `Schedules` since it is a list. That might be the property it is displaying by default – Matt Feb 03 '15 at 04:49
