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

Remove-PublicFolderMailboxMigrationRequest -Identity \PublicFolderMailboxMigrationac6d9eb4-ee49-405f-b90d-04e9a258bd7e

This example removes the specified public folder mailbox migration request.

Example 2

Get-PublicFolderMailboxMigrationRequest | ?{$_.TargetMailbox -eq $null}

This example returns public folder mailbox migration requests that don't have a target mailbox. To remove these orphaned migration requests, add | Remove-PublicFolderMailboxMigrationRequest to the end of the command.

Example 3

Get-PublicFolderMailboxMigrationRequest | group TargetMailbox | ?{$_.Count -gt 1}

This example returns duplicate public folder migration requests (requests created for the same target mailbox). If the command returns no results, then there are no duplicate migration requests.

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.

-DomainController

This parameter is functional 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.

The Force switch hides warning or confirmation messages. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

You can use this switch to run tasks programmatically where prompting for administrative input is inappropriate.

Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False
Applies to:	Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019, Exchange Online

-Identity

The Identity parameter specifies the public folder mailbox migration request that you want to remove. This value uses the syntax \PublicFolderMailboxMigration<GUID> (for example, \PublicFolderMailboxMigrationac6d9eb4-ee49-405f-b90d-04e9a258bd7e).

You can't use this parameter with the RequestGuid or RequestQueue parameters.

-RequestGuid

This parameter is available only in on-premises Exchange.

The RequestGuid parameter specifies the unique RequestGuid identifier of the request. To find the RequestGuid value, use the Get-PublicFolderMailboxMigrationRequest cmdlet.

If you use this parameter, you also need to use the RequestQueue parameter. You can't use either of these parameters with the Identity parameter.

The RequestQueue parameter identifies the request based on the mailbox database where the request is being run. 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.
