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

Add-LdapDirectory -Organization contoso.onmicrosoft.com -Id FabrikamLdap -Host ldap.fabrikam.com -Port 636 -UseSsl

This example adds an LDAP directory named FabrikamLdap for the contoso.onmicrosoft.com organization that connects to ldap.fabrikam.com over a secure (SSL/TLS) connection on port 636.

Example 2

Add-LdapDirectory -Organization contoso.onmicrosoft.com -Id FabrikamLdap -Host 10.0.0.25 -Port 389 -BaseDn "OU=Users,DC=fabrikam,DC=com" -TimeoutSec 30

This example adds an LDAP directory that connects to the server at 10.0.0.25 on port 389, scopes searches to the specified base distinguished name, and uses a 30-second connection timeout.

Parameters

-BaseDn

Applicable: Exchange Online

The BaseDn parameter specifies the base distinguished name that scopes LDAP searches. For example, "OU=Users,DC=fabrikam,DC=com".

Parameter properties

Type:String
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 Online

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on whether 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.
