New-SettingOverride
This cmdlet is available only in on-premises Exchange.
Caution: Incorrect usage of the setting override cmdlets can cause serious damage to your Exchange organization. This damage could require you to reinstall Exchange. Only use these cmdlets as instructed by product documentation or under the direction of Microsoft Customer Service and Support.
Use the New-SettingOverride cmdlet to create setting overrides that store Exchange customizations in Active Directory instead of in text files on the server.
For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.

[<CommonParameters>] Description
Setting overrides configure and store Exchange server customizations in Active Directory. The settings can be organization-wide or server-specific, and they persist in Active Directory across Exchange Cumulative Updates (CUs). Exchange customizations in web.config or exe.config XML application configuration files are server-specific, and are lost when you install the next Exchange CU.
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
New-SettingOverride -Name "IM Override" -Component OwaServer -Section IMSettings -Parameters @("IMServerName=skype01.contoso.com","IMCertificateThumbprint=CDF34A740E9D225A1A06193A9D44B2CE22775308") -Reason "Configure IM"This example creates a new setting override named IM Server Integration. This override specifies the Skype for Business Server 2015 pool and a certificate thumbprint that allows instant messaging (IM) integration between Outlook on the web and Skype for Business. Because the Server parameter isn't used, the override applies to all Exchange 2016 servers in the Active Directory forest.
For more information, see the topic Configure instant messaging integration with Outlook on the web in Exchange 2016.
Example 2
New-SettingOverride -Name "Change OAB Generation" -Server Mailbox01 -Component TimeBasedAssistants -Section OABGeneratorAssistant -Parameters @("WorkCycle=02:00:00") -Reason "Generate OAB Every 2 hours"This example creates a new setting override named Change OAB Generation. This override specifies a 2 hour OAB generation interval. Because the Server parameter is used, the override applies only to the specified server named Mailbox01.
For more information, see the topic Change the offline address book generation schedule in Exchange.
Parameters
-Component
The Component parameter specifies the component that the setting override is applied to. For example:
- TimeBasedAssistants
- OwaServer
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019 |
-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.

| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019 |
-Force
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.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |

-MaxVersion
The MaxVersion parameter specifies the latest version of Exchange 2016 that this override applies to (up to and including the specified value).
Valid input for this parameter is an Exchange 2016 version value in the format 15.1.xxx.xx. You can use values with leading zeros, but the leading zeros are removed from the results. For example, 15.01.0225.042 is stored as 15.1.225.42.
The default value is blank ($null), which means the override applies to all versions of Exchange 2016.

-Server
The Server parameter specifies the name of the Exchange 2016 server where you want the override applied. You can specify a single Exchange 2016 server name, or an array of Exchange 2016 server name wildcards. For example, if you have three Exchange 2016 servers named Exchange01, Exchange02 and Exchange03, specify the value Exchange* to apply the override to all of them.
