Description

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

Example 1

New-SearchDocumentFormat -Name "Proprietary SCT Formats" -MimeType text/scriptlet -Extension .sct -Identity ProprietarySCT1

This example creates a new search document format with an extension of .sct and a MIME type of text/scriptlet.

Parameters

-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.

Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-Enabled

The Enabled parameter specifies whether the new format is enabled at creation.

Valid input for this parameter is $true or $false. The default is $true.

Applies to:Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-Extension

The Extension parameter specifies the file type to be processed by the filter and is designated by the common file extension associated with the file type. Examples include .MP3, .JPG and .PNG. Note the leading period.

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

-Identity

The Identity parameter uniquely identifies the new search document format. For example, an identity of "PropSCT" might specify a proprietary document format which is supported by a custom IFilter. The Identity parameter must be unique within the search document formats.

-Name

The Name specifies a friendly name for the format, but does not need to be unique. For example, you might have several different formats (supported by custom IFilters) that are used to index output from a proprietary system called "My Business Output". You could use the Name parameter to create a category of formats called "My Business Output Formats" and uniquely identify each format within that group using the Identity parameter.

Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

  • Name
  • FQDN
  • Distinguished name (DN)
  • Exchange Legacy DN

If you don't use this parameter, the command is run on the local server.

Type:ServerIdParameter
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
