Options

SETPASSWORD user_name password —Stores user credentials in an
encrypted file for later use. This option must be run separately from a
modify or list activity.

GETPASSWORD—Retrieves previously stored user credentials. This
option can only be used if the credentials were previously stored with the
setpassword option.

TRUSTEE trustee_name —The domain account for the source machine
(domain\machine$). DFO attempts to deny write permissions to the DNS
A record on failover for the account identified as the trustee. “Deny write
permissions” is then removed from the DNS A record on failback. This
keeps the source server from reclaiming its DNS A record if it comes back
online prior to failback.

VERBOSE—Logging and display level set to maximum detail

TEST—Runs in test mode so that modifications are not made, only listed

DEBUG—Forces DFO to write the DNS resource record as-is to the
dfolog.log file prior to any DFO modify or list activity.

HELP—Displays the syntax of the DNS Failover utility
