Description

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

$OnPremisesCreds = Get-Credential

$TenantCreds = Get-Credential

Update-HybridConfiguration -OnPremisesCredentials $OnPremisesCreds -TenantCredentials $TenantCreds

This example defines the credentials that are used to update the hybrid configuration object and connect to the Microsoft 365 for enterprises organization.

Use the first command to specify your on-premises organization credentials. For example, run this command and enter <domain>\[email protected] and the associated password in the resulting Windows PowerShell Credential Request dialog box.

Use the second command to specify your Microsoft 365 organization credentials. For example, run this command and then enter [email protected] and the associated account password in the resulting Windows PowerShell Credential Request dialog box.

Use the last command to define the credentials that are used to update the hybrid configuration object and connect to the Microsoft 365 organization.

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.
Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:cf
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019, Exchange Online

-DomainController

This parameter is available only in on-premises Exchange.

The DomainController parameter specifies the domain controller that's used by this cmdlet to read data from or write data to Active Directory. You identify the domain controller by its fully qualified domain name (FQDN). For example, dc01.contoso.com.

Type:Fqdn
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-ForceUpgrade

The ForceUpgrade switch suppresses the confirmation message that appears if the object was created in a previous version of Exchange. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

This confirmation prompt is displayed only when the existing HybridConfiguration Active Directory object version is Exchange 2010.

Type:SwitchParameter
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, Exchange Online

-OnPremisesCredentials

The OnPremisesCredentials parameter specifies the on-premises Active Directory account and password that's used to configure the hybrid configuration object. This account must be a member of the Organization Management role group.

A value for this parameter requires the Get-Credential cmdlet. To pause this command and receive a prompt for credentials, use the value (Get-Credential). Or, before you run this command, store the credentials in a variable (for example, $cred = Get-Credential) and then use the variable name ($cred) for this parameter. For more information, see Get-Credential.

Type:PSCredential
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019, Exchange Online

-SuppressOAuthWarning

This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.

Type:SwitchParameter
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, Exchange Online

-TenantCredentials

The TenantCredentials parameter specifies the Microsoft 365 organization account and password that's used to configure the hybrid configuration object. This is often the administrator account that's assigned when the Microsoft 365 organization was created. This account must be a member of the Global Administrators role.

Important

Microsoft recommends that you use roles with the fewest permissions. Using lower permissioned accounts helps improve security for your organization. Global Administrator is a highly privileged role that should be limited to emergency scenarios when you can't use an existing role.

A value for this parameter requires the Get-Credential cmdlet. To pause this command and receive a prompt for credentials, use the value (Get-Credential). Or, before you run this command, store the credentials in a variable (for example, $cred = Get-Credential) and then use the variable name ($cred) for this parameter. For more information, see Get-Credential.

Default value:None

-WhatIf

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.
