Identity

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.DatabaseIdParameter

The Identity parameter specifies the identity of the mailbox database being activated.

Server

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.MailboxServerIdParameter

The Server parameter specifies the identity of the server from which to move all active mailbox databases.

ActivateOnServer

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.MailboxServerIdParameter

The ActivateOnServer parameter specifies the name of the Mailbox server on which the mailbox database copy should be activated.

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.

MountDialOverride

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.DatabaseMountDialOverride

The MountDialOverride parameter is used to override the auto database mount dial (AutoDatabaseMountDial) setting for the target server and specify an alternate setting. The following are possible values:

• None   When using this value, the currently configured auto database mount dial setting on the target server will be used.
  
  
• Lossless   This is the default value. When using this value, the database doesn't automatically mount until all log files that were generated on the original active copy have been copied to the passive copy.
  
  
• GoodAvailability   If you specify this value, the database automatically mounts immediately after a failover if the copy queue length is less than or equal to 6. If the copy queue length is greater than 6, the database doesn't automatically mount. When the copy queue length is less than or equal to 6, Microsoft Exchange attempts to replicate the remaining logs to the passive copy and then mounts the database.
  
  
• BestEffort   If you specify this value, the database automatically mounts regardless of the size of the copy queue length. Because the database will mount with any amount of log loss, using this value could result in a large amount of data loss.
  
  
• BestAvailability   If you specify this value, the database automatically mounts immediately after a failover if the copy queue length is less than or equal to 12. The copy queue length is the number of logs recognized by the passive copy that needs to be replicated. If the copy queue length is more than 12, the database doesn't automatically mount. When the copy queue length is less than or equal to 12, Exchange attempts to replicate the remaining logs to the passive copy and then mounts the database.
  
  

MoveComment

Optional

System.String

The MoveComment parameter specifies an optional administrative reason for the move operation. The comment is recorded in the Event log.

SkipActiveCopyChecks

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The SkipActiveCopyChecks parameter specifies whether to skip checking the current active copy to see if it's currently a seeding source for any passive databases. Be aware that when using this parameter, you can move a database that's currently a seeding source, which cancels the seed operation.

SkipClientExperienceChecks

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The SkipClientExperienceChecks parameter specifies whether to skip the search catalog (content index) state check to see if the search catalog is healthy and up to date. If the search catalog for the database copy you're activating is in an unhealthy or unusable state and you use this parameter to skip the search catalog health check and activate the database copy, you will need to either re-crawl or reseed the search catalog.

SkipHealthChecks

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The SkipHealthChecks parameter specifies whether to bypass passive copy health checks. With the SkipHealthChecks parameter, you can move the active copy to a database copy that's in the Failed state. This parameter should be used only if the initial attempt to move the active database has failed. This is because the SkipHealthChecks parameter performs additional validation to ensure that the log files are consistent, which can take a considerable amount of time.

SkipLagChecks

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The SkipLagChecks parameter specifies whether to allow a copy to be activated that has replay and copy queues outside of the configured criteria.

TerminateOnWarning

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The TerminateOnWarning parameter specifies whether to terminate the task and output an error message if a warning is encountered during the switchover operation.

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.
