Detailed Description

The Get-UMMailbox cmdlet retrieves the UM properties for a single UM mailbox. It can also return a list of UM-enabled mailboxes.

To run the Get-UMMailbox cmdlet, the account you use must be delegated the Exchange Recipient Administrator role.

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Anr

Optional

System.String

This parameter specifies a string on which to perform an ambiguous name resolution (ANR) search. You can specify a partial string and search for objects that have an attribute that matches that string. The default attributes that are searched are as follows:

  • CommonName (CN)

  • DisplayName

  • FirstName

  • LastName

  • Alias

Credential

Optional

System.Management.Automation.PSCredential

This parameter specifies the user name and password to use to access the Active Directory directory service.

DomainController

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

This parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory.

Filter

Optional

System.String

This parameter lets you filter the results returned by the cmdlet.

For more information about the filterable properties, see Filterable Properties for the -Filter Parameter in Exchange 2007 RTM.

Identity

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.MailboxIdParameter

This parameter specifies the user to enable for Unified Messaging. The variables for this parameter include the following:

  • ADObjectID

  • GUID

  • DN

  • Domain\Account

  • UPN

  • LegacyExchangeDN

  • SmtpAddress

  • Alias

This parameter is required if the Instance parameter is not used.

IgnoreDefaultScope

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

This parameter instructs the command to ignore the default recipient scope setting for the Exchange Management Shell and use the entire forest as the scope. This allows the command to access Active Directory objects that are currently not in the default scope. Using the IgnoreDefaultScope parameter introduces the following restrictions:

  • You cannot use the DomainController parameter. The command will use an appropriate global catalog server automatically.

  • You can only use the DN for the Identity parameter. Other forms of identification, such as alias or GUID, are not accepted.

  • You cannot use the OrganizationalUnit and Identity parameters together.

  • You cannot use the Credential parameter.

OrganizationalUnit

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.OrganizationalUnitIdParameter

This parameter specifies an organizational unit (OU) and is used to limit the results. If you use this parameter, you will retrieve only mailboxes in the container that you specify. You can use the OU or the domain name. If you use the OU, you must specify the canonical name of the OU.

ReadFromDomainController

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

This parameter specifies that the user information will be read from a domain controller in the user's domain. If you have set the recipient scope to include all recipients in the forest and if you do not use this parameter, the user information may be read from a global catalog whose information is outdated. If you do use this parameter, multiple reads may be necessary to get the information. By default, the recipient scope is set to the domain that hosts your Exchange servers.

ResultSize

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited

This parameter lets you specify a maximum number of results to be returned. Otherwise a maximum number is not specified and the cmdlet will return all results.

SortBy

Optional

System.String

This parameter specifies the attribute by which to sort the results. You can sort by only one attribute at a time. You can sort by the following attributes:

  • Alias

  • DisplayName

  • Name

The results will be sorted in ascending order.
