force confirmation when executing command to convert user mailbox to linked mailbox
Hi All, I'm executing this command: Connect-Mailbox -Identity user01 -Database db1 -LinkedDomainController dc.contoso.com -LinkedMasterAccount fonafetest01@contoso.com -LinkedCredential $cre When the command finishs I have a question about a confirmation, so I have to type A for all I also tried Connect-Mailbox -Identity user01 -Database db1 -LinkedDomainController dc.contoso.com -LinkedMasterAccount fonafetest01@contoso.com -LinkedCredential $cre -Confirm Connect-Mailbox -Identity user01 -Database db1 -LinkedDomainController dc.contoso.com -LinkedMasterAccount fonafetest01@contoso.com -LinkedCredential $cre -Confirm:$false But I always get the same question, is there a way to avoid the confirmation question? Regards.Regards. Jos Osorio.

Hi -Confirm:$False will supress the prompting of confirmation while running Exchange Shell commands. I tried the above commandlet now in my 2010 test lab. works fine :) Thanks

Hi Jose, I also tested in my lab, and found “-Confirm:$false” can work for me. Now please help me to clarify the following information: 1.When you run “Disable-Mailbox” command on the Exchange Server, can “-Confirm:$false” help you to avoid the confirmation?

Hi Evan, 1. -confirm:$false doesn´t help me to avoid information. 2. Exchange 2010. Regards.Regards. Jos Osorio.
