Description

The Set-User cmdlet contains no mail-related properties for mailboxes or mail users. To modify the mail-related properties for a user, you need to use the corresponding cmdlet based on the object type (for example, Set-Mailbox or Set-MailUser).

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

Set-User -Identity Contoso\Jill -DisplayName "Jill Frank"

This example sets the display name for user Jill Frank.

Example 2

Set-User -Identity Kweku@fabrikam.com -LinkedMasterAccount $null

This example unlinks the linked mailbox Kweku@fabrikam.com and converts it to a user mailbox by setting the LinkedMasterAccount parameter to $null.

Performing this procedure on a linked mailbox removes all permissions on the mailbox such as Send As, Full Access, folder and calendar delegation.

Parameters

The Arbitration switch is required to modify arbitration mailboxes. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

Arbitration mailboxes are system mailboxes that are used for storing different types of system data and for managing messaging approval workflow.

Type:SwitchParameter

To remove the policy assignment for the user, use the value $null.

You create authentication policies with the New-AuthenticationPolicy cmdlet to block or selectively allow Basic authentication or (in Exchange 2019 CU2 or later) other legacy authentication methods.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False

-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.

This parameter is available only in on-premises Exchange.

The IgnoreDefaultScope switch tells the command to ignore the default recipient scope setting for the Exchange PowerShell session, and to use the entire forest as the scope. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

This switch enables the command to access Active Directory objects that aren't currently available in the default scope, but also introduces the following restrictions:

  • You can't use the DomainController parameter. The command uses an appropriate global catalog server automatically.

  • UPN
  • LegacyExchangeDN
  • SmtpAddress
  • Alias

-UMDtmfMap

This parameter is available only in on-premises Exchange.

The UMDtmfMap parameter specifies the dual-tone multiple-frequency (DTMF) map values for the recipient. This allows the recipient to be identified by using a telephone keypad in Unified Messaging (UM) environments. Typically, these DTMF values are automatically created and updated, but you can use this parameter to make changes manually. This parameter uses the following syntax:

  • emailAddress:<integers>
  • lastNameFirstName:<integers>
  • firstNameLastName:<integers>

To enter values that overwrite all existing entries, use the following syntax: emailAddress:<integers>,lastNameFirstName:<integers>,firstNameLastName:<integers>.

If you use this syntax and you omit any of the DTMF map values, those values are removed from the recipient. For example, if you specify only emailAddress:<integers>, all existing lastNameFirstName and firstNameLastName values are removed.

To add or remove values without affecting other existing entries, use the following syntax: @{Add="emailAddress:<integers>","lastNameFirstName:<integers>","firstNameLastName:<integers>"; Remove="emailAddress:<integers>","lastNameFirstName:<integers>","firstNameLastName:<integers>"}.

If you use this syntax, you don't need to specify all of the DTMF map values, and you can specify multiple DTMF map values. For example, you can use @{Add="emailAddress:<integers1>","emailAddress:<integers2>} to add two new values for emailAddress without affecting the existing lastNameFirstName and firstNameLastName values.

-UserPrincipalName

This parameter is available only in on-premises Exchange.

-WindowsEmailAddress

The WindowsEmailAddress parameter specifies the Windows email address for this recipient. This is a common Active Directory attribute that's present in all environments, including environments without Exchange. Using the WindowsEmailAddress parameter on a recipient has one of the following results:

  • In environments where the recipient is subject to email address policies (the EmailAddressPolicyEnabled property is set to the value True for the recipient), the WindowsEmailAddress parameter has no effect on the WindowsEmailAddress property or the primary email address value.
  • In environments where the recipient isn't subject to email address policies (the EmailAddressPolicyEnabled property is set to the value False for the recipient), the WindowsEmailAddress parameter updates the WindowsEmailAddress property and the primary email address to the same value.

The WindowsEmailAddress property is visible for the recipient in Active Directory Users and Computers in the E-mail attribute. The attribute common name is E-mail-Addresses, and the Ldap-Display-Name is mail. If you modify this attribute in Active Directory, the recipient's primary email address is not updated to the same value.
