Remove-PublicFolderMailboxMigrationRequest

This cmdlet is available in on-premises Exchange and in the cloud-based service. Some parameters and settings might be exclusive to one environment or the other.

Use the Remove-PublicFolderMailboxMigrationRequest cmdlet to remove individual jobs from public folder migration batches that were created by using the New-MigrationBatch cmdlet.

For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.

Description

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

Remove-PublicFolderMailboxMigrationRequest -Identity \PublicFolderMailboxMigrationac6d9eb4-ee49-405f-b90d-04e9a258bd7e

This example removes the specified public folder mailbox migration request.

Example 2

Get-PublicFolderMailboxMigrationRequest | ?{$_.TargetMailbox -eq $null}

This example returns public folder mailbox migration requests that don't have a target mailbox. To remove these orphaned migration requests, add | Remove-PublicFolderMailboxMigrationRequest to the end of the command.

Example 3

Get-PublicFolderMailboxMigrationRequest | group TargetMailbox | ?{$_.Count -gt 1}

This example returns duplicate public folder migration requests (requests created for the same target mailbox). If the command returns no results, then there are no duplicate migration requests.

Parameters

-Confirm

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

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.
