Syntax
Set-CmdletExtensionAgent
[-Identity] <CmdletExtensionAgentIdParameter>
[-Confirm]
[-DomainController <Fqdn>]
[-Name <String>]
[-Priority <Byte>]
[-WhatIf]
[<CommonParameters>] Description
Cmdlet extension agents are used by Exchange cmdlets in Exchange Server 2010 and later. Cmdlets provided by other Microsoft or third-party products can't use cmdlet extension agents.
The changes that you make by using the Set-CmdletExtensionAgent cmdlet are applied to every Exchange server in the organization.
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
Set-CmdletExtensionAgent "Validation Agent" -Priority 9This example changes the priority of the fictitious "Validation Agent" cmdlet extension agent to 9.
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.
