Detailed Description

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 "Mailbox databases" entry in the Recipients Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
Identity	Required	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.GeneralMailboxIdParameter	The Identity parameter specifies the mailbox. You can use any value that uniquely identifies the mailbox. 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
AllowMigration	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The AllowMigration switch allows a quarantined mailbox to be moved to another mailbox database or to the cloud. Moving a mailbox is one method of correcting data corruption that's required before releasing the mailbox from quarantine. You don't have to specify a value with the AllowMigration switch.
Confirm	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The Confirm switch can be used to suppress the confirmation prompt that appears by default when this cmdlet is run. To suppress the confirmation prompt, use the syntax `-Confirm:$False`. You must include a colon ( `:` ) in the syntax.
Duration	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.EnhancedTimeSpan	The Duration parameter specifies how long the mailbox should remain quarantined. The default duration is 24 hours. To specify a value, enter it as a time span: dd.hh:mm:ss where d = days, h = hours, m = minutes, and s = seconds.
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.
