Remove-MailboxUserConfiguration

Reference

Module:: ExchangePowerShell

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

This cmdlet is available in on-premises Exchange and in the cloud-based service. Some parameters and settings may be exclusive to one environment or the other.

Use the Remove-MailboxUserConfiguration cmdlet to remove user configuration items from mailboxes. Typically, after you delete a user configuration item, it's automatically recreated the next time the user uses that feature in their mailbox.

For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.

Syntax

Remove-MailboxUserConfiguration
      [-Identity] <MailboxUserConfigurationIdParameter>
      -Mailbox <MailboxIdParameter>
      [-Confirm]

Description

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

Remove-MailboxUserConfiguration -Mailbox julia@contoso.com -Identity Configuration\IPM.Configuration.Aggregated.OwaUserConfiguration

This example removes the specified user configuration item from the mailbox julia@contoso.com.

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.
