Description

The Get-ManagedFolder cmdlet retrieves the specified managed folder attributes:

  • If only an Identity parameter value is present, the command retrieves the specified folder and all associated attributes.
  • If a Mailbox parameter value is present, the command retrieves all managed folders that apply to that user by means of a managed folder mailbox policy applied by an administrator. Managed folders that users add by means of an organization's managed folder opt-in Web site aren't displayed by this command.
  • If no parameter values are specified, the command retrieves all the folder objects and their associated attributes.

The Get-ManagedFolder cmdlet accepts a ManagedFolder object or an identity string as pipelined input.
