| Parameter | Type | Required | What it controls |
|---|---|---|---|
| -VerifyRecipient | ProxyAddress | yes | The VerifyRecipient parameter specifies a single recipient with which to verify the synchronization status. You identify the recipient by specifying a proxy address assigned to the recipient. The proxy address is the... |
| -Confirm | SwitchParameter | 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. | |
| -DomainController | Fqdn | The DomainController parameter specifies the domain controller that's used by this cmdlet to read data from or write data to Active Directory. You identify the domain controller by its fully qualified domain name... | |
| -ExcludeRecipientTest | SwitchParameter | The ExcludeRecipientTest switch specifies whether to exclude validation of recipient data synchronization. You don't need to specify a value with this switch. | |
| -FullCompareMode | SwitchParameter | The FullCompareMode switch specifies whether a full comparison of the configuration data between Active Directory and AD LDS instance on the target Edge Transport server is performed. You don't need to specify a... | |

| -MonitoringContext | Boolean | The MonitoringContext parameter specifies whether to include the associated monitoring events and performance counters in the results. Valid values are: | |
| -TargetServer | String | The TargetServer parameter specifies an Edge Transport server to initiate edge synchronization with. If omitted, all Edge Transport servers are synchronized. | |
