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 katherine@fabrikam.com -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.
