How to manually start a Deduplication job in Server 2012

Recently I've been converting to Server 2012 and thought, their must be a way to start the deduplication process immediately!

Here's how to do it;

Open Powershell as an Administrator.
Type Get-DedupVolume (to view your dedupe volumes)
Type Start-DedupJob –Full –Path D: -Type Optimization (where D: is your dedupe drive)
Type Get-DedupStatus –Path D: (to view the status)

Sweet!
