Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
Identity	Required	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.AdSiteIdParameter	The Identity parameter specifies the identity of the Active Directory site you want to modify. You can use any value that uniquely identifies the site. For example, you can use the name, GUID or distinguished name (DN) of the Active Directory site.
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.
HubSiteEnabled	Optional	System.Boolean	The HubSiteEnabled parameter specifies whether this site acts as a hub site. The default value is `$false`.
InboundMailEnabled	Optional	System.Boolean	The InboundMailEnabled parameter enables or disables receiving incoming messages for all the Exchange located in the Active Directory site. Typically, this parameter is used after Active Directory site failover or maintenance. Valid input for this parameter is `$true` or `$false`. The default value is `$true`. If you set the value to `$false`, none of the Exchange servers in the Active Directory site will be able to receive incoming messages.
MinorPartnerId	Optional	System.Int32	This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.
PartnerId	Optional	System.Int32	This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.
ResponsibleForSites	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.MultiValuedProperty	This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.
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.
