Parameters
Parameter | Required | Type | Description | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Identity |
Required |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.GlobalAddressListIdParameter |
Use the Identity parameter to specify the GUID, distinguished name, or GAL name that represents a specific address list. You can also include the path by using the format Path\GlobalAddressListName. You can omit the parameter label Identity so that only the GAL list 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. |
||
DomainController |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn |
To specify the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to the Active Directory directory service, include the DomainController parameter in the command. |
||
UseRusServer |
Optional |
System.String |
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. |
