Description

The New-OutlookProvider cmdlet creates the AutoDiscoverConfig object under the Global Settings object in Active Directory and sets the attributes specified.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this article lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you might not have access to some parameters if they aren't 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-OutlookProvider -Name MyOABUrl

This example creates the AutoDiscoverConfig object MyOABUrl.

Example 2

New-OutlookProvider -DomainController DC1 -Name Autodiscover1

This example creates the AutoDiscoverConfig object Autodiscover1 and the specified domain controller writes the change to Active Directory.

Parameters

-Confirm

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

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.
