Update-SiteMailbox
This cmdlet is available only in on-premises Exchange.
Use the Update-SiteMailbox cmdlet to trigger a Microsoft SharePoint synchronization. This command synchronizes document content membership and permissions into Microsoft Exchange. You might need to perform this action when troubleshooting document or membership synchronization issues.
Site mailboxes were deprecated in Exchange Online and SharePoint Online in 2017. For more information, see Deprecation of Site Mailboxes.
For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.

Description
If you are running this command against a site mailbox in which you aren't the owner, you need to use the BypassOwnerCheck parameter to run this cmdlet.
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
Update-SiteMailbox -BypassOwnerCheck -Identity "MarketingEvents 2013"
This example updates the site mailbox MarketingEvents 2013. If you don't specify the target, this triggers both document and membership synchronization. Because the BypassOwnerCheck parameter is used, it isn't necessary to be an owner or member of the site mailbox to run this cmdlet.
Example 2
Update-SiteMailbox -BypassOwnerCheck -Identity WinterHoliday@tailspintoys.com -FullSync
This example updates the site mailbox WinterHoliday@tailspintoys.com and performs a full synchronization. By default, the update only occurs for synchronization from the last synchronization. This is only applicable to document synchronization
Parameters
-BypassOwnerCheck
Applicable: Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019, Exchange Server SE
The BypassOwnerCheck parameter is used when the account that's running the command isn't a member or owner of the site mailbox. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.
If you don't use this switch, and you aren't a member or owner of the site mailbox, the command will fail.
Parameter properties

| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
(All)
| Position: | Named |
| Mandatory: | False |
| Value from pipeline: | False |
| Value from pipeline by property name: | False |
| Value from remaining arguments: | False |
-Confirm
Applicable: 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.
