Description

The Update-SPProfileSync cmdlet updates the configuration of the User Profile Synchronization job based on the parameters specified.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Update-SPProfileSync -IgnoreIsActive:$false

This example updates the User Profile Synchronization job marking it to sync all users irrespective of their activity, without prompting for user confirmation.

EXAMPLE 2

Update-SPProfileSync -SynchronizationTiming "every 15 minutes"

This example updates the User Profile Synchronization job marking it to run every 15 minutes, without prompting for user confirmation.

Parameters

-AssignmentCollection

Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.

When the Global parameter is used, all objects are contained in the global store. If objects are not immediately used, or disposed of by using the Stop-SPAssignment command, an out-of-memory scenario can occur.

Parameter properties

Type:SPAssignmentCollection
Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:Named
Mandatory:False
Value from pipeline:True
Value from pipeline by property name:False
Value from remaining arguments:False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Parameter properties

Type:SwitchParameter
Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

-ExcludeWebApplications

Comma-delimited list of Web application URLs to exclude from consideration in the synchronization process.

The values specified delete any existing values set.

Parameter properties

Type:String
Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:1
Mandatory:False
Value from pipeline:True
Value from pipeline by property name:False
Value from remaining arguments:False

-IgnoreIsActive

Specifies whether to sync only active profiles or all profiles. User profiles of users who contribute to the site are considered as Active.

The valid values are True or False.

Parameter properties

Type:Boolean
Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:4
Mandatory:False
Value from pipeline:True
Value from pipeline by property name:False
Value from remaining arguments:False

-SweepTiming

Performs the same tasks as the SynchronizationTiming parameter. However, the SweepTiming parameter sets the schedule for the "sweep" job. The sweep job is driven by the SharePoint Foundation change log and is used as a lightweight way to capture new users added. For example, you might have a fully synchronized site, but then a user is added to the site. The sweep job ensures that the incremental newly added user gets the User Profile properties replicated quickly.

The default value is every 1 minute.

Parameter properties

Type:String
Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:3
Mandatory:False
Value from pipeline:True
Value from pipeline by property name:False
Value from remaining arguments:False

-SynchronizationTiming

Sets the schedule for the main synchronization job. You can mention the schedule using a text string of SPSchedule format (for example, "every 15 minutes" means the job is scheduled to run every 15 minutes, "daily at 09:00:00" means the job is scheduled to run at 9 AM every day).

The default is once per hour.

You can use the SPSchedule.FromString() string method to pass in the strings, "every 5 minutes" or "weekly xxxxxxx".

Parameter properties
