Description

SharePoint, Lync and Skype for Business partner applications are automatically created in on-premises Exchange deployments. For the Test-OAuthConnectivity cmdlet to succeed for other partner applications in on-premises deployments, you first need to create the partner application by using the Configure-EnterprisePartnerApplication.ps1 script that's available in the %ExchangeInstallPath%Scripts folder ($env:ExchangeInstallPath\Scripts in PowerShell).

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. 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

Example 1

Test-OAuthConnectivity -Service EWS -TargetUri https://cas.contoso.com/ews/ -Mailbox "Gurinder Singh"

This example tests OAuth connectivity with Exchange for Gurinder Singh.

Parameters

-AppOnly

The AppOnly switch specifies the cmdlet will authenticate to the specified service as Exchange without any user context. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

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

-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.
