Use the Update-SiteMailbox cmdlet to trigger a Microsoft SharePoint synchronization. This command synchronizes document content membership and permissions into Microsoft Exchange. You may need to perform this action when troubleshooting document or membership synchronization issues.

For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Syntax.

Syntax

Update-SiteMailbox -Identity <RecipientIdParameter> [-BypassOwnerCheck <SwitchParameter>] [-FullSync <SwitchParameter>] [-Organization <OrganizationIdParameter>] [-Server <String>] [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-Target <All | Document | Membership | Maintenance>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

This example updates the site mailbox MarketingEvents 2013. If you don't specify the target, this triggers both document and membership synchronization. Because the BypassOwnerCheck parameter is used, it isn't necessary to be an owner or member of the site mailbox to run this cmdlet.

Copy Code
Update-SiteMailbox -BypassOwnerCheck -Identity "MarketingEvents 2013"

EXAMPLE 2

This example updates the site mailbox WinterHoliday@tailspintoys.com and performs a full synchronization. By default, the update only occurs for synchronization from the last synchronization. This is only applicable to document synchronization

Copy Code
Update-SiteMailbox -BypassOwnerCheck -Identity WinterHoliday@tailspintoys.com -FullSync

Detailed Description

If you are running this command against a site mailbox in which you aren’t the owner, you need to use the BypassOwnerCheck parameter to run this cmdlet.

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.

  • SMTP address

  • Name

  • GUID

BypassOwnerCheck

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The BypassOwnerCheck parameter specifies that the user running the command in the Exchange Management Shell isn't a site mailbox owner or member. If you run the command without this parameter and you aren't the site mailbox owner or member, the command doesn't run or return any information.

Confirm

Optional

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.

FullSync

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The FullSync parameter specifies full sync is expensive and will have a performance impact on the Exchange system.

  • All

  • Membership

If you don't specify this parameter when you run the cmdlet, this parameter value defaults to ALL.

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.
