Description
The Move-DfsnFolder cmdlet moves or renames a Distributed File System (DFS) namespace folder.
For more information about DFS namespaces, see Overview of DFS Namespaces on TechNet.
Examples
Example 1: Move a folder
Move-DfsnFolder -Path '\\Contoso\Western\Development\DesignDocuments' -NewPath '\\Contoso\Western\HumanResources\DesignDocuments'
This command moves the folder DesignDocuments to the ___location \\Contoso\Western\HumanResources.
After you run this command, the folder \\Contoso\Western\Development\DesignDocuments no longer
exists.
Example 2: Rename a folder
Move-DfsnFolder -Path '\\Contoso\AccountingSoftware\Software' -NewPath '\\Contoso\AccountingSoftware\LegacySoftware'
This command renames the folder Software in the \\Contoso\AccountingSoftware folder. The new name
is \\Contoso\AccountingSoftware\LegacySoftware.
Parameters
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command
prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the
*-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the
Receive-Job cmdlet.
For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.

-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.
