Syntax

Test-SiteMailbox [-BypassOwnerCheck <SwitchParameter>] [-Organization <OrganizationIdParameter>] [-SharePointUrl <Uri>] [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-Identity <RecipientIdParameter>] [-RequestorIdentity <RecipientIdParameter>] [-UseAppTokenOnly <SwitchParameter>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

The example tests a SharePoint site's connectivity only. You can use this command before creating a site mailbox or if you're having a problem creating a site mailbox.

Copy Code
Test-SiteMailbox -BypassOwnerCheck -SharePointUrl "https://myserver/teams/edu"

EXAMPLE 2

This example tests the Exchange server connectivity with an existing site mailbox using the Identity and UseAppTokenOnly parameters. The Identity parameter specifies the site mailbox, and the UseAppTokenOnly parameter specifies that you want to test under the identity of the Exchange server. Run this command for troubleshooting documentation synchronization issues.

Copy Code
Test-SiteMailbox -BypassOwnerCheck -Identity mysitemailbox@contoso.com -UseAppTokenOnly

EXAMPLE 3

This example tests a specific user's ability to access a SharePoint site by using the RequestorIdentity parameter.

Copy Code
Test-SiteMailbox -BypassOwnerCheck -RequestorIdentity "kweku@contoso.com" -SharePointUrl "https://myserver/teams/edu"

Detailed Description

If you don't specify the RequestorIdentity parameter, the command uses the identification of the user running this command.

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.
