Generate checksum for the file

Determines whether to generate a checksum of the file. When using classic mode this requires that a network connection be made to the remote machine using a UNC path and the administrative shares, this is not a requirement when using PowerShell remoting. The checksum is used by the item comparer to detect when changes are made to the file.


Maximum File Size (KB)

The maximum size of the file for which the checksum should be read, in kilobytes.


Hash Algorithm

The hash algorithm to use to generate the checksum.


  • MD5
  • SHA-256
  • SHA-512
