Anr

Optional

System.String

The Anr parameter specifies a string on which to perform an ambiguous name resolution (ANR) search. You can specify a partial string and search for objects with an attribute that matches that string. The default attributes searched are:

• CommonName (CN)
  
  
• DisplayName
  
  
• FirstName
  
  
• LastName
  
  
• Alias
  
  

Arbitration

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The Arbitration parameter specifies that the mailbox for which you are executing the command is an arbitration mailbox. Arbitration mailboxes are used for managing approval workflow. For example, an arbitration mailbox is used for handling moderated recipients and distribution group membership approval.

Credential

Optional

System.Management.Automation.PSCredential

The Credential parameter specifies the account used to read Active Directory.

This parameter requires the creation and passing of a credential object. This credential object is created by using the Get-Credential cmdlet. For more information, see Get-Credential.

DomainController

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that retrieves data from Active Directory.

Filter

Optional

System.String

The Filter parameter indicates the OPath filter used to filter recipients.

For more information about the filterable properties, see Filterable Properties for the -Filter Parameter.

Identity

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.UserIdParameter

The Identity parameter specifies the identity of the user object.

This parameter accepts the following values:

• Alias
  
  Example: JPhillips
  
  
• Canonical DN
  
  Example: Atlanta.Corp.Contoso.Com/Users/JPhillips
  
  
• Display Name
  
  Example: Jeff Phillips
  
  
• Distinguished Name (DN)
  
  Example: CN=JPhillips,CN=Users,DC=Atlanta,DC=Corp,DC=contoso,DC=com
  
  
• Domain\Account
  
  Example: Atlanta\JPhillips
  
  
• GUID
  
  Example: fb456636-fe7d-4d58-9d15-5af57d0354c2
  
  
• Immutable ID
  
  Example: fb456636-fe7d-4d58-9d15-5af57d0354c2@contoso.com
  
  
• Legacy Exchange DN
  
  Example: /o=Contoso/ou=AdministrativeGroup/cn=Recipients/cn=JPhillips
  
  
• SMTP Address
  
  Example: Jeff.Phillips@contoso.com
  
  
• User Principal Name
  
  Example: JPhillips@contoso.com
  
  

IgnoreDefaultScope

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The IgnoreDefaultScope parameter instructs the command to ignore the default recipient scope setting for the Exchange Management Shell session and use the entire forest as the scope. This allows the command to access Active Directory objects that aren't currently in the default scope. Using the IgnoreDefaultScope parameter introduces the following restrictions:

• You can't use the DomainController parameter. The command uses an appropriate global catalog server automatically.
  
  
• You can only use the DN for the Identity parameter. Other forms of identification, such as alias or GUID, aren't accepted.
  
  
• You can't use the OrganizationalUnit and Identity parameters together.
  
  
• You can't use the Credential parameter.
  
  

Organization

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.OrganizationIdParameter

This parameter is available for multi-tenant deployments. It isn't available for on-premises deployments. For more information about multi-tenant deployments, see Multi-Tenant Support.

The Organization parameter specifies the organization in which you'll perform this action. This parameter doesn't accept wildcard characters, and you must use the exact name of the organization.

OrganizationalUnit

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.OrganizationalUnitIdParameter

The OrganizationalUnit parameter returns objects only from the specified organizational unit (OU).

ReadFromDomainController

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The ReadFromDomainController parameter specifies that the user information is read from a domain controller in the user's domain. If you set the recipient scope to include all recipients in the forest, and if you don't use this parameter, it's possible that the user information is read from a global catalog with outdated information. If you use this parameter, multiple reads might be necessary to get the information.

Note:
By default, the recipient scope is set to the domain that hosts your servers running Exchange.

RecipientTypeDetails

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.Recipient.RecipientTypeDetails[]

The RecipientTypeDetails parameter specifies the type of recipients returned. Recipient types are divided into types and subtypes. Each recipient type contains all common properties for all subtypes. For example, the type UserMailbox represents a user account in Active Directory that has an associated mailbox. Because there are several mailbox types, each mailbox type is identified by the RecipientTypeDetails parameter. For example, a conference room mailbox has RecipientTypeDetails set to ConferenceRoomMailbox, whereas a user mailbox has RecipientTypeDetails set to UserMailbox.

You can use the following values:

• DiscoveryMailbox
  
  
• EquipmentMailbox
  
  
• LegacyMailbox
  
  
• LinkedMailbox
  
  
• MailUser
  
  
• RoomMailbox
  
  
• SharedMailbox
  
  
• SystemAttendantMailbox
  
  
• SystemMailbox
  
  
• User
  
  

ResultSize

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited

The ResultSize parameter specifies the maximum number of results to return.

Sortby

Optional

System.String

The SortBy parameter specifies the attribute to sort by. This parameter sorts by a single attribute in ascending order.
