You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet.

To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.

Examples

Parameters

-CertPrincipalName

The CertPrincipalName parameter specifies the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate principal name required for connecting to Exchange from an external location.

This parameter is only used for Outlook Anywhere clients.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-Confirm

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

  • Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
  • Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.

-OutlookProviderFlags

The OutlookProviderFlags parameter specifies how Outlook clients should connect to the Exchange server.

-RequiredClientVersions

The RequiredClientVersions parameter specifies the minimum version of Microsoft Outlook that's allowed to connect to the Exchange server. This information is in the Autodiscover response to the client connection request. This parameter uses the syntax "MinimumVersion, ExpirationDate".

MinimumVersion is the version of Outlook in the format xx.x.xxxx.xxxx. For example, to specify Outlook 2010 Service Pack 2 (SP2), use the value 14.0.7012.1000.

ExpirationDate is the UTC date-time when connections by older versions of Outlook will be blocked. The UTC date-time is represented in the ISO 8601 date-time format: yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.fffZ, where yyyy = year, mm = month, dd = day, T indicates the beginning of the time component, hh = hour, mm = minute, ss = second, fff = fractions of a second and Z signifies Zulu, which is another way to denote UTC.

An example of a valid value for this parameter is "14.0.7012.1000, 2020-01-01T12:00:00Z".
