-VerifyDefaultFolderNameLanguage

Applicable: Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019, Exchange Server SE, Exchange Online

The VerifyDefaultFolderNameLanguage switch verifies that the default folder names are localized in the language that's specified for the mailbox (the Language property value). You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

The results are displayed in the DefaultFolderNameMatchingUserLanguage property. To see this property, you need to pipeline the results of the command to the Format-List or Format-Table cmdlets. For example:

  • Get-MailboxRegionalConfiguration -Identity <MailboxIdentity> -VerifyDefaultFolderNameLanguage | Format-List

Or

  • Get-MailboxRegionalConfiguration -Identity <MailboxIdentity> -VerifyDefaultFolderNameLanguage | Format-Table Language,DefaultFolderNameMatchingUserLanguage

If you view the DefaultFolderNameMatchingUserLanguage property without using the VerifyDefaultFolderNameLanguage switch, the value is always $false, even if the default folder names are localized in the language that's specified for the mailbox.
