Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

IncludePreExchange2007

Required

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

If the value of the IncludeExchange2003Servers parameter is $true, this parameter returns information about previous versions of Exchange in addition to Exchange Server 2007.

Server

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.ServerIdParameter

The Server parameter specifies the name of the server to query for storage groups. This parameter can be used instead of the Identity parameter if you want to retrieve all storage group objects for the server.

DomainController

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

To specify the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that retrieves data from Active Directory, include the DomainController parameter in the command. Because of delays in Active Directory replication, different Active Directory servers might return different values if a new storage group was created recently.

Identity

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.StorageGroupIdParameter

Use the Identity parameter to specify the GUID or distinguished name that represents a specific storage group. You can also include the server name using the format ServerName\StorageGroup. The "Identity" parameter label is optional.
