These providers gather FRS status information, which is polled and gathered by the Ultrasound controller. Ultrasound works by installing WMI providers on replica members in an organization. Ultrasound also allows administrators to monitor the progress of replication and detect problems that can cause replication to become backlogged or stopped. Ultrasound is a powerful tool to measure the health of FRS replica sets by providing health ratings and historical information about replica sets.

FRS is used to replicate files and folders in the SYSVOL file share on domain controllers and files in Distributed File System (DFS) targets. Ultrasound is a monitoring and troubleshooting tool for the File Replication service (FRS).
