Use the Suspend-MailboxRestoreRequest cmdlet to suspend a restore request any time after the request was created, but before the request reaches the status of Completed. You can resume the restore request by using the Resume-MailboxRestoreRequest cmdlet.

Syntax

Suspend-MailboxRestoreRequest -Identity <MailboxRestoreRequestIdParameter> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-SuspendComment <String>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]

Detailed Description

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "Mailbox restore request" entry in the Mailbox Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Identity

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.MailboxRestoreRequestIdParameter

The Identity parameter specifies the identity of the restore request. The Identity parameter consists of the alias of the mailbox to be restored and the name that was specified when the restore request was created. The identity of the restore request uses the following syntax: <alias>\<name>.

If you didn't specify a name for the restore request when it was created, Exchange automatically generated the default name MailboxRestore. Exchange generates up to 10 names, starting with MailboxRestore and then MailboxRestoreX (where X = 1–9).

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.

SuspendComment

Optional

System.String

The SuspendComment parameter specifies a description about why the request was suspended. You can only use this parameter if you specify the Suspend parameter.

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.
