Required |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.OfflineAddressBookIdParameter |
Use the Identity parameter to specify the GUID, distinguished name or OAB name that represents a specific OAB. You can also include the path by using the format Server\OfflineAddressBookName. You can omit the parameter label Identity so that only the OAB name or GUID is supplied. |

Confirm |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
The Confirm parameter 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 parameter. |

To specify the fully qualified domain name of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory, include the DomainController parameter on the command. |
|
WhatIf |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
The WhatIf parameter instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf parameter, 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 parameter. |
