Use the Test-OrganizationRelationship cmdlet to verify that the organization relationship is properly configured and functioning as expected.

Syntax

Test-OrganizationRelationship [-Identity <OrganizationRelationshipIdParameter>] -UserIdentity <RecipientIdParameter> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-Organization <OrganizationIdParameter>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]

Detailed Description

The Test-OrganizationRelationship cmdlet doesn't include any functional tests of federated sharing features, such as accessing user free/busy information or moving mailboxes between organizations. It only verifies that the configuration will allow these features to work correctly.

Before you can test an organization relationship, you must first create an organization relationship. For more information, see Create an Organization Relationship.

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 "Organization relationships" entry in the Mailbox Permissions topic.
