This cmdlet is available in on-premises Exchange and in the cloud-based service. Some parameters and settings may be exclusive to one environment or the other.

Use the Test-OrganizationRelationship cmdlet to verify that the organization relationship is properly configured and functioning as expected.

For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.

Syntax

Test-OrganizationRelationship
    [[-Identity] <OrganizationRelationshipIdParameter>]
    -UserIdentity <RecipientIdParameter>
    [-Confirm]
    [-DomainController <Fqdn>]
    [-WhatIf]
    [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Test-OrganizationRelationship cmdlet doesn't include any functional tests of federated sharing features, such as accessing user free/busy information or moving mailboxes between organizations. It only verifies that the configuration will allow these features to work correctly.

Before you can test an organization relationship, you must first create an organization relationship. For more information, see Create an organization relationship.

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

Test-OrganizationRelationship -UserIdentity [email protected] -Identity contoso.com -Confirm

This example validates the organization relationship deployed in the fabrikam.com on-premises Exchange organization and checks whether a delegation token can be retrieved for a mailbox in the external organization domain contoso.com.

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.
