Detailed Description

You can use the Update-HybridConfiguration cmdlet to designate the accounts and credentials that will be used when updating the hybrid configuration Active Directory object and connecting to the cloud-based service.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Hybrid configuration" entry in the Exchange and Shell Infrastructure Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

OnPremisesCredentials

Required

System.Management.Automation.PSCredential

The OnPremisesCredentials parameter identifies the on-premises Active Directory account and credentials that will be used to configure hybrid configuration features. This account must have the Organization Management management role group assigned. 

TenantCredentials

Required

System.Management.Automation.PSCredential

The TenantCredentials parameter identifies the cloud-based organization account and credentials that will be used to configure hybrid configuration features. This is often the administrator account that is assigned when the cloud-based service was created. This account must have the Organization Management management role group assigned.

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

The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that retrieves data from Active Directory. 

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.
