Get-MailboxLocation

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.

This parameter is available only in on-premises Exchange.

The Database parameter returns the mailbox location information for all mailboxes on the specified mailbox database. You can use any value that uniquely identifies the database. For example:

• Name
• Distinguished name (DN)
• GUID

You can't use this parameter with the Identity parameter.

The Identity parameter specifies the mailbox location object that you want to view. The value uses the either of the following formats:

• TenantGUID\MailboxGUID
• MailboxGUID

In Exchange Server or Exchange Online, you can run the following command to find and compare the MailboxGUID values for the user: Get-Mailbox -Identity <MailboxIdentity> | Format-List *GUID,MailboxLocations.

In Exchange Online, you can find the TenantGUID and MailboxGUID values after you run Get-MailboxLocation with the User parameter.

You can't use this parameter with the User parameter.

This parameter is available only in the cloud-based service.

The IncludePreviousPrimary switch specifies whether to include the previous primary mailbox in the results. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

You can only use this switch with the User parameter.

The MailboxLocationType filters the results by the type of mailbox. Valid values are:

• Aggregated
• AuxArchive
• AuxPrimary
• ComponentShared
• MainArchive
• PreviousPrimary (Exchange Online only)
• Primary

The ResultSize parameter specifies the maximum number of results to return. If you want to return all requests that match the query, use unlimited for the value of this parameter. The default value is 1000.

This parameter is available only in the cloud-based service.

The User parameter specifies the user whose mailbox location you want to view. You can use any value that uniquely identifies the user. For example:

• Name
• Distinguished name (DN)
• Canonical DN
• GUID

You can't use this parameter with the Identity parameter.

The WhatIf switch simulates the actions of the command. You can use this switch to view the changes that would occur without actually applying those changes. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.
