Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ProfileServiceApplicationProxy | Required | Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPServiceApplicationProxyPipeBind | Specifies the name of the User Profile Service Application Proxy to use. | ||
| Name | Required | Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.PowerShell.SPProfileLeaderPipeBind | Specifies the account name to be removed as a leader for the new User Profile Service application. For example, Contoso\Joe. | ||
| AssignmentCollection | Optional | Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPAssignmentCollection | Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.

| SiteSubscription | Optional | Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPSiteSubscriptionPipeBind | Specifies the account under which this service should run. This parameter is mandatory in a hosted-environment and optional in a non-hosted environment. | ||
