Detailed Description
You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "Public folders" entry in the Mailbox Permissions topic.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Name |
Required |
System.String |
The Name parameter specifies the name for the public folder. |
|
Confirm |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
The Confirm switch causes the command to pause processing and requires you to acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. You don't have to specify a value with the Confirm switch. |
|
DomainController |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn |
The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory. |
|
EformsLocaleId |
Optional |
System.Globalization.CultureInfo |
The EformsLocaleId parameter specifies the locale-specific version of the e-forms library. The valid input for the EformsLocaleId parameter is the string names listed in the Culture Name column in the Microsoft .NET Class Library class reference available at CultureInfo Class. |
|
Organization |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.OrganizationIdParameter |
The Organization parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use. |
|
Path |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.PublicFolderIdParameter |
The Path parameter specifies the location of the folder in the folder hierarchy, for example, \Legal\Cases. |
|
Server |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.ServerIdParameter |
The Server parameter specifies the server on which to create the public folder. If a server isn't specified, the command checks whether the local server is running Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 or Exchange Server 2007 with the Mailbox server role installed and with a public folder database. If it is, the public folder is created locally. If it isn't, Exchange finds the closest (by site cost) Exchange 2010 or Exchange 2007 Mailbox server with a public folder database on which to create the public folder. |
|
WhatIf |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
The WhatIf switch instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf switch, you can view what changes would occur without having to apply any of those changes. You don't have to specify a value with the WhatIf switch. |
