Description
The Suspend-DfsReplicationGroup cmdlet suspends replication between computers, even if replication was scheduled by either a replication group or a connection.
This cmdlet ignores the schedule for a specified number of minutes. This is typically preferable to altering the schedule temporarily to prevent replication, because this cmdlet does not require Active Directory replication and LDAP polling.
Examples
Example 1: Suspend replication between servers
PS C:\> Suspend-DfsReplicationGroup -GroupName "RG01" -SourceComputerName "SRV01" -DestinationComputerName "SRV02" -DurationInMinutes 15
This command suspends replication from server SRV01 to SRV02 in the RG01 replication group for 15 minutes, even if the replication happens during an open replication schedule.
Example 2: Suspend replication between servers with verbose output
PS C:\> Suspend-DfsReplicationGroup -GroupName "RG01" -SourceComputerName "SRV01" -DestinationComputerName "SRV02" -DurationInMinutes 5 -Verbose
VERBOSE: Performing operation "Suspend-DfsReplicationGroup" on Target "SRV01".
VERBOSE: The **Suspend-DfsReplicationGroup** cmdlet completed successfully.
This command suspends replication from server SRV01 to SRV02 in the RG01 replication group for 5 minutes, even if the replication happens during an open replication schedule, and displays output.
Parameters
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

| Value from pipeline: | False |
| Value from pipeline by property name: | False |
| Value from remaining arguments: | False |
-GroupName
Specifies an array of names of replication groups. If you do not specify this parameter, the cmdlet queries for all participating replications groups. You can use a comma separated list and the wildcard character (*).
Parameter properties

-SourceComputerName
Specifies the name of the sending computer. A source computer is also called an outbound or upstream computer.
Parameter properties
| Type: | String |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
| Aliases: | SendingMember, SMem |
