DFSR Error creating folder membership

hi all,

i'm getting strange error when running following sample code in powershell add replicated folder existing replication group.

both servers virtual , running server 2012 r2.

$groupname = "files_sa" $foldername = "dept_share" $primarycomputer = "primaryserver.ad.domain.com" $secondarycomputer = "secondaryserver.ad.domain.com" $contentpath = "m:\dept\share"  new-dfsreplicatedfolder -groupname $groupname -foldername $foldername set-dfsrmembership -groupname $groupname -foldername $foldername -computername $primarycomputer -contentpath $contentpath -primarymember $true -force set-dfsrmembership -groupname $groupname -foldername $foldername -computername $secondarycomputer -contentpath $contentpath -primarymember $false -force

when gets last command following error:

set-dfsrmembership : not edit dfsr membership domain: ; replication group: "files_sa"; replicated folder: "dept_share"; computer:  secondaryserver.ad.domain.com; guid: none specified. filename, directory name, or volume label syntax incorrect @ c:\users\username-admin\desktop\untitled2.ps1:9 char:1 + set-dfsrmembership -groupname $groupname -foldername $foldername -computername $ ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     + categoryinfo          : notspecified: (dfsr membership...none specified.:string) [set-dfsrmembership], dfsrexception     + fullyqualifiederrorid : set-dfsrmembership.omexception,microsoft.distributedfilesystemreplication.commands.setdfsrmembershipcommand

i have tried run command using dfsradmin , same error.  additionally using gui last stop results in same error.

the work-around have found remove replicated folder replication group , manually re-add gui (specifying same paths.)

from searching i've done says path has illegal character in it, doesn't.  i've tried other folder paths same result.

any ideas?

hi,

not need specify value of primarymember parameter on secondarycomputer. if command not specify value of primarymember parameter secondarycomputer have default value of $false setting.

more detailed information, please refer article below:
