DESCRIPTION

Use the Update-M365SharedContacts cmdlet to update shared contacts in a Microsoft 365 tenant.

EXAMPLES

Example 1: Validation only

-ValidateOnly

Validation and update are both performed by default. Use -ValidateOnly to perform the validation but skip the update.

It is recommended to run a -ValidateOnly pass first to identify potential issues prior to updating data. Note that records with validation errors will fail to update unless -IgnoreErrors is used, but records with validation warnings proceed without the data triggering the warning. A -ValidateOnly pass allows you to inspect these warnings before data is written and make any necessary changes.

Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
