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 "Address lists" entry in the Email Address and Address Book Permissions topic.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Container |
Required |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.AddressListIdParameter |
The Container parameter specifies the identity of the parent address list of the address list or lists that you want to view. If no parent address list is specified, the command gets all address lists under the root All Address Lists. |
|
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. |
|
Identity |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.AddressListIdParameter |
The Identity parameter specifies the GUID, distinguished name (DN), or address list name that represents a specific address list. You can also include the path using the format Path\AddressListName. You can omit the parameter label so that only the address list name or GUID is supplied. |
|
Organization |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.OrganizationIdParameter |
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. |
|
SearchText |
Optional |
System.String |
The SearchText parameter specifies that you can search the names of all organizational units (OUs) in your organization for the specified string. Only the OUs that match the string you specify are returned. If the string you specify contains spaces, enclose it in quotation marks ("). This parameter can't be used with the Identity parameter. |
