Get-UnifiedGroup

This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.

The Filter parameter uses OPATH syntax to filter the results by the specified properties and values. The search criteria uses the syntax "Property -ComparisonOperator 'Value'".

• Enclose the whole OPATH filter in double quotation marks " ". If the filter contains system values (for example, $true, $false, or $null), use single quotation marks ' ' instead. Although this parameter is a string (not a system block), you can also use braces { }, but only if the filter doesn't contain variables.
• Property is a filterable property. For more information about the filterable properties in Exchange server and Exchange Online, see Filterable properties for the Filter parameter.
• ComparisonOperator is an OPATH comparison operator (for example -eq for equals and -like for string comparison). For more information about comparison operators, see about_Comparison_Operators.
• Value is the property value to search for. Enclose text values and variables in single quotation marks ('Value' or '$Variable'). If a variable value contains single quotation marks, you need to identify (escape) the single quotation marks to expand the variable correctly. For example, instead of '$User', use '$($User -Replace "'","''")'. Don't enclose integers or system values in quotation marks (for example, use 500, $true, $false, or $null instead).

You can chain multiple search criteria together using the logical operators -and and -or. For example, "Criteria1 -and Criteria2" or "(Criteria1 -and Criteria2) -or Criteria3".

For detailed information about OPATH filters in Exchange, see Additional OPATH syntax information.

The Identity parameter specifies the Microsoft 365 Group that you want to view. You can use any value that uniquely identifies the Microsoft 365 Group. For example:

• Name
• Alias
• Distinguished name (DN)
• Canonical DN
• Email address
• GUID

Note: You can use the DisplayName value to identify the Microsoft 365 Group, but the results aren't guaranteed to be unique. If you must return a singular and unique result, use a unique identifier for the Microsoft 365 Group.

The IncludeAllProperties switch specifies whether to include the values of all properties in the results. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

If you don't use this switch, the values of some properties (for example, CalendarMemberReadOnly, CalendarUrl, InboxUrl, PeopleUrl, and PhotoUrl) might appear blank.

The IncludeSoftDeletedGroups switch specifies whether to include soft-deleted Microsoft 365 Groups in the results. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

Soft-deleted Microsoft 365 Groups are deleted groups that are still recoverable.

The ResultSize parameter specifies the maximum number of results to return. If you want to return all requests that match the query, use unlimited for the value of this parameter. The default value is 1000.

The SortBy parameter specifies the property to sort the results by. You can sort by only one property at a time. The results are sorted in ascending order.

If the default view doesn't include the property you're sorting by, you can append the command with | Format-Table -Auto Property1,Property2,...PropertyX. to create a new view that contains all of the properties that you want to see. Wildcards (*) in the property names are supported.

You can sort by the following properties:

• Name
• DisplayName
• Alias
