This parameter accepts the following values:

• Alias
  
  Example: JPhillips
  
  
• Canonical DN
  
  Example: Atlanta.Corp.Contoso.Com/Users/JPhillips
  
  
• Display Name

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.
  
  

IncludeBookmarkObject

Optional

System.Boolean

This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.

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 specifies an organizational unit (OU) or domain canonical name, and is used to limit the results. If you use this parameter, you only get recipients in the container that you specify. For example:

• OU: westcoast.contoso.com/users
  
  
• Domain: westcoast.contoso.com
  
  

PropertySet

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.Management.PropertySet

This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.

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 that run Microsoft Exchange.

RecipientPreviewFilter

Optional

System.String

The RecipientPreviewFilter parameter specifies a recipient filter that would define the recipients returned by this command. You can create a custom recipient filter for a dynamic distribution group, an address list, or an e-mail address policy. To verify that the recipient filter you specified will return the recipients you want, you can pass the OPATH filter specified in the RecipientFilter property for that dynamic distribution group, address list, or e-mail address policy to the RecipientPreviewFilter parameter and preview the list of recipients.

RecipientType

Optional

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

The RecipientType parameter specifies the type of recipients to return. You can use one or more of the following values:

• DynamicDistributionGroup
  
  
• UserMailbox
  
  
• MailUser
  
  
• MailContact
  
  
• MailUniversalDistributionGroup
  
  
• MailUniversalSecurityGroup
  
  
• MailNonUniversalGroup
  
  
• PublicFolder
  
  

RecipientTypeDetails

Optional

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

The RecipientTypeDetails parameter specifies the type of recipients returned. Recipient types are divided into recipient 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 select from the following values:

• ArbitrationMailbox
  
  
• ConferenceRoomMailbox
  
  
• Contact
  
  
• DiscoveryMailbox
  
  
• DynamicDistributionGroup
  
  
• EquipmentMailbox

The ResultSize parameter specifies the maximum number of results to return. If you want to return all recipients that match the filter, use unlimited for the value of this parameter. The default value is 1000.

SortBy

Optional

System.String

The SortBy parameter specifies the attribute by which to sort the results. You can sort by only one attribute at a time. You can sort by the following attributes:

• Alias
  
  
• DisplayName
  
  
• Name
  
  

The results are sorted in ascending order.
