New-PublicFolderDatabase

SYNOPSIS

This cmdlet is available only in Exchange Server 2010.

Use the New-PublicFolderDatabase cmdlet to create a public folder database.

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

SYNTAX

New-PublicFolderDatabase [-Name] <String> -Server <ServerIdParameter>
 [-Confirm]
 [-DomainController <Fqdn>]
 [-EdbFilePath <EdbFilePath>]
 [-LogFolderPath <NonRootLocalLongFullPath>]
 [-WhatIf]
 [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

The new database must be mounted after it's created. For more information about mounting databases, see Mount a Database.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not 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-PublicFolderDatabase -Name "My Public Folder Database" -EdbFilePath "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Mailbox\PFDB01.edb" -LogFolderPath "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Mailbox\PFDB01"

This example creates the public folder database PFDB01.

PARAMETERS

-Name

The Name parameter specifies the name of the new public folder database. The name must be unique to your entire organization.

Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Applicable: Exchange Server 2010

Required: True
Position: 1
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-Server

The Server parameter specifies the Mailbox server where you want to create the new public folder database. You can use any value that uniquely identifies the server. For example:

  • Name
  • FQDN
  • Distinguished name (DN)
  • Exchange Legacy DN

A server can have only one public folder database.

Type: ServerIdParameter
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Applicable: Exchange Server 2010

Required: True
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True
Accept wildcard characters: False

-Confirm

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.

Required: False

Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
