Parameters

Parameter

Required

Type

Description
|
|---|
|
Name
|
Required
|
System.String
|
The Name parameter specifies the name for the public folder.
|
|
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.
|
|
Path
|
Optional
|
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.PublicFolderIdParameter
|
The Path parameter specifies the location of the folder in the folder hierarchy, for example, \Legal\Cases.
|
|
Server
|
Optional
|
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.ServerIdParameter
|
The Server parameter specifies the server on which to create the public folder.
If a server isn't specified, the command checks whether the local server is running Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 or Exchange Server 2007 with the Mailbox server role installed and with a public folder database. If it is, the public folder is created locally. If it isn't, Exchange finds the closest (by site cost) Exchange 2010 or Exchange 2007 Mailbox server with a public folder database on which to create the public folder.
|
|
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.
