The ForceUpgrade parameter suppresses the following confirmation: "To save changes on object, the object must be upgraded to the current Exchange version. After upgrade, this object cannot be managed by a previous version of Exchange System Manager. Do you want to continue to upgrade and save the object?" This confirmation occurs when you upgrade a GAL that was created in Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange 2000 Server. You cannot manage an Exchange 2003 or Exchange 2000 GAL by using the Exchange Management Console until you update the object's version and change the recipient filter by using either the RecipientFilter, or the IncludedRecipients parameter.

IncludedRecipients

Optional

System.Nullable

The IncludedRecipients parameter filters the recipient types that are used to build the GAL. The available values for the IncludedRecipients parameter are AllRecipients, MailboxUsers, Resources, Contacts, and MailGroups.

The Name parameter specifies the new name for the global address list.

RecipientFilter

Optional

System.String

The RecipientFilter parameter specifies a filter for recipients to include in the GAL. You cannot use this parameter if you use any of the following filter parameters:

  • ConditionalCompany

  • IncludedRecipients

  • ConditionalStateorProvince

You must use either this parameter or one of the previously listed filter parameters.

For more information about the filterable properties, see Filterable Properties for the -RecipientFilter parameter.

UseRusServer

Optional

System.String

Note:
This parameter is available only in Exchange 2007 SP2.

The UseRusServer parameter instructs the command to use the specified Mailbox server on which the Address List service is running to obtain and then set mailbox and Active Directory user attributes.

The Address List service is a component in the Exchange System Attendant service. The Address List service creates and maintains Exchange-specific attribute values in Active Directory. You can use the Address List service to update recipient objects in a domain by using specific information, such as address list membership and e-mail addresses.

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.
