Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Identity

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.OutlookProviderIdParameter

The Identity parameter specifies the ADIDParameter value of the MAPI protocol for which you want to set global settings.

CertPrincipalName

Optional

The CertPrincipalName parameter specifies the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate principal name required for connecting to Exchange from an external location.

This parameter is only used for Outlook Anywhere clients.

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.

Name

Optional

System.String

The Name parameter specifies a common name for the Outlook Provider Configuration object. This can be a user-friendly name for identification.

OutlookProviderFlags

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.OutlookProviderFlags

The OutlookProviderFlags parameter specifies how Outlook clients should connect to the Exchange server. The value can be set to ServerExclusiveConnect, ExternalClientsRequireSSL, InternalClientsRequireSSL, or to None to clear the flags. The recommended value is None, which is also the default setting.

Server

Optional

System.String

The Server parameter specifies the Mailbox server to use for Outlook Anywhere clients.

TTL

Optional

System.Int32

The TTL parameter specifies the duration (in hours) that the specified settings are valid.

If a value is specified, the settings are rediscovered via the Autodiscover service after the duration specified with this parameter. A value of 0 indicates that no rediscovery is required. The default value is 1 hour.

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.
