## REM This script needs to run as a daily scheduled task by someone who has
## REM local administrator rights for all machines in reported RG. This script
## REM will generate a health report for all members of the replication group,
## REM with backlog based on a specified reference member. When reports are
## REM complete they will be saved to a specified share. When ALL reports are
## REM done, mail will be sent to the specified e-mail alias with links to the
## REM share.

@echo off
set CURRDATE=%TEMP%CURRDATE.TMP
set CURRTIME=%TEMP%CURRTIME.TMP
DATE /T > %CURRDATE%
TIME /T > %CURRTIME%
######
## REM This adds the date and time to the health report name and to the title
## REM of the e-mail.

## REM Here you define the different resources by specifying the name of each
## REM replication group, server name and share name. You can do this for as
## REM many replication groups as you want, but keep in mind that the script
## REM will wait until all reports complete before mail is sent out.

## REM This generates the reports with Dfsradmin.exe (you can use help to see
## REM what else it can do.) You need to set the name of the replication
## REM group, the name of the reference server for calculating backlog, the
## REM domain the RG is in, and a name for the report. The time and date
## REM variables we defined earlier in the script

### REM You will need to obtain an email command line application for this
### REM next part. You will use the program to send an email with links to
### REM the health reports to an alias of your choice. You may want address
### REM this mail to a distribution group.
### REM
### REM The command below is an example of how to send the mail using a
### REM ficticious command line mail application. You will need to reformat
### REM the command to be compatible with your command line mail application.
### REM
### REM You many need to give the sending alias the "Send As" right
