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
Update-PublicFolder "\Legal\Cases\My Public Folder" -Server "My Server"
This example starts content replication of the public folder My Public Folder in the \Legal\Cases path from the server My Server to all of the servers on the replication list for My Public Folder.
Example 2
Get-PublicFolder "\Legal\Cases\My Public Folder" | Update-PublicFolder -Server "My Server"
This example also starts content replication of the public folder My Public Folder in the \Legal\Cases path from the server My Server to all of the servers on the replication list for My Public Folder, but uses the Get-PublicFolder cmdlet to pipeline the desired folder.
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.
