A. You can use the DFSRADMIN utility to export a DFSR replica group schedule, as you see below. The only necessary parameters are the replica group name and the name of the file to which you want to export the schedule.

dfsradmin rg export
sched /rgname:savilltech.netshareddocuments /file:documentsched.txt

The resulting output shows the schedule in 15-minute increments for each hour of the 7-day schedule, starting with Sunday, as you see below.

1ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff
dddd,dddd,dddd,dddd,dddd,dddd,dddd,bbbb,bbbb,bbbb,bbbb,bbbb,bbbb,bbbb,bbbb,bbbb,bbbb,bbbb,dddd,dddd,dddd,dddd,dddd,dddd
dddd,dddd,dddd,dddd,dddd,dddd,dddd,bbbb,bbbb,bbbb,bbbb,bbbb,bbbb,bbbb,bbbb,bbbb,bbbb,bbbb,dddd,dddd,dddd,dddd,dddd,dddd

ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff,ffff

The key is: F =Full, E=256M, D=128M, C=64M, B=32M, A=16M, 9=8M, 8=4M, 7=2M, 6=1M, 5=512K, 4=256K, 3=128K, 2=64K, 1=16K, 0=No replication

You can run the same report for specific replication connections by adding the sending and receiving members via the /SENDMEM: and /RECVMEM: switches.
