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 "Exchange ActiveSync server settings" entry in the Clients and Mobile Devices Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
Filename	Required	System.String	The Filename parameter specifies the name of the input file.
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.
EndDate	Optional	System.DateTime	The EndDate parameter specifies the end date of the date range of the report.
Force	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The Force switch specifies whether to suppress warning or confirmation messages. This switch can be used when the task is run programmatically and prompting for administrative input is inappropriate. If the Force switch isn't provided in the command, you're prompted for administrative input. You don't have to specify a value with this parameter.
OutputPath	Optional	System.String	The OutputPath parameter specifies the name and location for the output file.
OutputPrefix	Optional	System.String	The OutputPrefix parameter specifies a prefix to append to the name of the output file.
StartDate	Optional	System.DateTime	The StartDate parameter specifies the start date of the date range for the report.
UseGMT	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The UseGMT switch specifies that Coordinated Universal Time (Greenwich Mean Time) is used for the time in the report output. By default, if this parameter isn't specified, local time is used.
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.
