Description

The Dump-ProvisioningCache cmdlet is for diagnostic purposes only and is rarely used. Exchange administrators or Microsoft support personnel may need to run this cmdlet to troubleshoot problems resulting from incorrect links or properties stamped on newly provisioned recipients, which can be caused by stale data in the provisioning cache.

The Dump-ProvisioningCache cmdlet displays a list of the Windows PowerShell provisioning cache keys. Use the value of these cache keys with the Reset-ProvisioningCache cmdlet to reset provisioning cache data.

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.

This example displays all cache keys for the specified server and Windows PowerShell application.

Parameters

-Application

The Application parameter specifies the specific administrative application to reset the provisioning cache for. You can use the following values:

  • Powershell
  • Powershell-LiveId
  • Powershell-Proxy
  • PowershellLiveId-Proxy
  • Ecp
  • Psws
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

-CacheKeys

The CacheKeys parameter specifies the value for the cache key that you want to clear. The format for the values should contain 32 digits separated by four dashes: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

Use the Dump-ProvisioningCache cmdlet to return a list of cache keys.

Type:MultiValuedProperty
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

-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.
