Note:
By default, group metrics data is generated on any server responsible for generating the offline address book (OAB). These examples are only necessary for organizations that don't use OABs.

To enable or disable group metrics generation on a Mailbox server, run the following command:

	Copy Code
Set-MailboxServer <ServerIdentity> -ForceGroupMetricsGeneration <$true | $false>

This example enables group metrics generation on a Mailbox server named MBX1.

	Copy Code
Set-MailboxServer MBX1 -ForceGroupMetricsGeneration $true

To verify that you have successfully enabled or disabled group metrics generation in an organization that doesn't use OABs, do the following:

1. Run the following command:
   
   

   	Copy Code
   Get-MailboxServer <ServerIdentity> | Format-List ForceGroupMetricsGeneration

2. Verify the setting displayed is the setting you configured.
