Example

The following example shows how to move the address list with GUID c3fffd8e-026b-41b9-88c4-8c21697ac8ac to a new location under the parent address list \All Users\Sales\building4.

Move-AddressList -Identity c3fffd8e-026b-41b9-88c4-8c21697ac8ac -Target "\All Users\Sales\building4"

Use the Get-AddressList command, piped to Format-List, to get the GUID, distinguished name, or path and name of an existing address list. Or use Get-AddressList to get a specific existing address list, and then pipe the output directly to Move-AddressList.
