Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Identity

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.CmdletExtensionAgentIdParameter

The Identity parameter specifies the name of the cmdlet extension agent to modify. If the name contains spaces, enclose the name in quotation marks (").

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.

Name

Optional

System.String

The Name parameter specifies the name of the cmdlet extension agent. The maximum length of the agent name is 64 characters. If the name contains spaces, enclose the name in quotation marks (").

Priority

Optional

System.Byte

The Priority parameter specifies where in the priority order of the cmdlet extension agent list the agent should be placed. The priority must be between 0 and the maximum number of agents. Agents with a priority closest to 0 have a higher priority and are run first.

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.
