I am migrating DFS shares on old file servers to server 2016. I can add the members based on existing memberships using powershell but when I try to set the membership to read only using powershell I get the following error:
Set-DfsrMembership : The read only property is not supported. The read only property is not supported.At line:1 char:1
+ Set-DfsrMembership -GroupName $ServerDFSGroup -ComputerName $NewServe ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (DFSR membership...None specified.:String) [Set-DfsrMembership], DfsrException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DfsrCore.ThrowIfInconsistent,Microsoft.DistributedFileSystemReplication.Commands.SetDfsrMembershipCommand
As a work around I have been manually setting them to read only using the DFS Management pane. Can anyone explain why I would be getting this error and how to work around it? I have tried setting it to read only when I set the other DFS properties and I've also tried setting it independently in a separate command. I am using the same variables to set the other DFS properties without issue.
