Use the Remove-MailboxImportRequest cmdlet to remove fully or partially completed import requests. Completed import requests aren't automatically cleared. Requests need to be removed by using the Remove-MailboxImportRequest cmdlet. Multiple import requests can exist against the same mailbox if you provide a distinct import request name.
For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Syntax.
 Note: |
|---|
| Removing a partially completed import request removes the request from the Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication service (MRS) job queue. Any import progress that was made until the removal won't be reverted. |

Detailed Description

The parameter set that requires the RequestGuid and RequestQueue parameters is used for MRS debugging purposes only.
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 "Import Export" entry in the Recipients Permissions topic.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Identity |
Required |
Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.MailboxImportRequestIdParameter |
The Identity parameter specifies the identity of the import request. By default, import requests are named <alias>\MailboxImportX (where X = 0–9). If you created the request using the Name parameter, use the following syntax: <alias>\<name>. You can't use this parameter in conjunction with the RequestGuid parameter. |
|
RequestGuid |
Required |
System.Guid |
The RequestGuid parameter specifies the unique identifier for the import request. To find the import request GUID, use the Get-MailboxImportRequest cmdlet. If you specify the RequestGuid parameter, you must also specify the RequestQueue parameter. You can't use this parameter in conjunction with the Identity parameter. |
|
RequestQueue |
Required |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.DatabaseIdParameter |
The RequestQueue parameter specifies the mailbox database on which the request is being performed. This parameter accepts the following values:
|
|
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. |
|
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. |
