Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
ActiveDirectoryTimeout |
Optional |
System.Int32 |
The ActiveDirectoryTimeout parameter specifies the amount of time, in seconds, allowed for each Active Directory directory service operation to complete before the operation times out. The default value is 15 seconds. |
Confirm |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
The Confirm parameter causes the command to pause processing and requires you to acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. You do not have to specify a value with the Confirm parameter. |
DomainController |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn |
To specify the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that retrieves data from the Active Directory directory service, include the DomainController parameter in the command. |
MonitoringContext |
Optional |
System.Boolean |
The MonitoringContext parameter specifies whether the results of the command will include monitoring events and performance counters. The two possible values for this parameter are $true or $false. If you specify $true, the results will include monitoring events and performance counters in addition to the information about services. |
Server |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.ServerIdParameter |
The Server parameter specifies the server on which you will check that the required services are running. If you do not specify this parameter, the command will check the services on the local server. |
WhatIf |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
The WhatIf parameter instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf parameter, you can view what changes would occur without having to apply any of those changes. You do not have to specify a value with the WhatIf parameter. |
