This is just weird. I have an ec2 instance (for my testing purpose) and what I am trying to achieve is that using powershell install a windows feature (DFS) and configure DFS replication group and the other things. I was able to install this windows feature but configuration fails.

I was trying to use Get-DfsrReplication command. Please note that its not Get-DfsReplication, since that too fails that it cant find such a command

First it failed because that I was not having powershell v4.0. I installed the same. Then it was an issue that I didnt had the DFSR module, I did the same. But again it fails with such a weird error:

The term 'Get-ADObject' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check

the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

What is the connection between Get-ADObject and Get-DfsrReplication commands? or Am I doing anything wrong?

  • That is one of the active directory cmdlets from the module `ActiveDirectory`. That module might just not be imported maybe? `Get-Module -ListAvailable` might show it under the name column – Matt Mar 19 '15 at 14:13
  • @Matt: Yes, such a module is not there. Is there any connection between these two? sorry, I couldn't find any references for the same anywhere.. – serverstackqns Mar 19 '15 at 14:14

    @serverstackqns Dfsr relies on AD, and needs to be able to retrieve the DFS replication group configuration objects from AD, hence the error – Mathias R. Jessen Mar 19 '15 at 14:25
  • @MathiasR.Jessen: That was unknown to me. Is there any other dependencies for using DFS through powershell..? – serverstackqns Mar 19 '15 at 14:30
  • No, Install the PowerShell Module for Active Directory from Server Manager and you should be good to go – Mathias R. Jessen Mar 19 '15 at 14:53
