-VerifyDefaultFolderNameLanguage

The VerifyDefaultFolderNameLanguage switch verifies that the default folder names are localized in the language that's specified for the mailbox (the Language property value). You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

The results are displayed in the DefaultFolderNameMatchingUserLanguage property. To see this property, you need to pipeline the results of the command to the Format-List or Format-Table cmdlets. For example:

  • Get-MailboxRegionalConfiguration -Identity <MailboxIdentity> -VerifyDefaultFolderNameLanguage | Format-List

Or

  • Get-MailboxRegionalConfiguration -Identity <MailboxIdentity> -VerifyDefaultFolderNameLanguage | Format-Table Language,DefaultFolderNameMatchingUserLanguage

If you view the DefaultFolderNameMatchingUserLanguage property without using the VerifyDefaultFolderNameLanguage switch, the value is always $false, even if the default folder names are localized in the language that's specified for the mailbox.

Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
