Description

Microsoft Exchange servers have a default virtual directory that Exchange ActiveSync mobile devices use to synchronize with the server. You can create multiple virtual directories and assign different devices to different directories.

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.

Parameters

-ADPropertiesOnly

The ADPropertiesOnly switch specifies whether to return only the virtual directory properties that are stored in Active Directory. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

If you don't use this switch, the properties in Active Directory and in the Internet Information Services (IIS) metabase are returned.

Name or Server\Name
Distinguished name (DN)
GUID

The Name value uses the syntax "VirtualDirectoryName (WebsiteName)" from the properties of the virtual directory. You can specify the wildcard character (*) instead of the default website by using the syntax VirtualDirectoryName*.

-ShowMailboxVirtualDirectories

The ShowMailboxVirtualDirectories switch shows information about backend virtual directories on Mailbox servers. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

By default, this cmdlet shows information about virtual directories in the Client Access services on Mailbox servers.

We recommend that you use this parameter only under the direction of Microsoft Customer Service and Support.
