Description

The Get-StorageFileServer cmdlet gets the specified storage file server or all discovered storage file servers.

Examples

Example 1: Get all file servers

PS C:\>Get-StorageFileServer

This command gets all file servers known by the current system.

Example 2: Get a file server by name

PS C:\>Get-StorageFileServer -StorageFileServerFriendlyName "MyFileServer" | Format-List

This command gets the file server named MyFileServer and uses the pipeline to send it to Format-List, which displays its properties.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

Parameter properties

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

-ThrottleLimit

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
