New-OutlookProtectionRule

The ApplyRightsProtectionTemplate parameter specifies the AD RMS template to apply to the message. An AD RMS template can be specified using the template name. Use the Get-RMSTemplate cmdlet to retrieve templates from your AD RMS server.

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.

This parameter is available only in on-premises Exchange.

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 (FQDN). For example, dc01.contoso.com.

The Enabled parameter specifies whether the Outlook protection rules are enabled. New Outlook protection rules are enabled by default. To create a rule without enabling it, set the Enabled parameter to $false.

The Force switch hides warning or confirmation messages. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

Use this switch to hide the confirmation prompt when you create rules without any conditions (rules without conditions apply to all messages).

The FromDepartment parameter specifies the sender's department as a condition. The user's department property is compared with the value specified.

The Name parameter specifies a name for the rule.

The Priority parameter specifies whether to set the order of processing of Outlook protection rules. Rules with a lower priority value are executed first.

The SentTo parameter specifies one or more recipients as a rule condition. You can use any value that uniquely identifies the internal recipient. For example:

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

You can also specify the SMTP email address of an external recipient.

You can enter multiple values separated by commas. If the values contain spaces or otherwise require quotation marks, use the following syntax: "Value1","Value2",..."ValueN".

When you specify multiple recipients, messages sent to any of the specified recipients are considered a match.

This parameter doesn't accept wildcard characters.

The SentToScope parameter specifies the message scope as a condition. You can use one of the following values:

• InOrganization: This value is for messages sent to recipients within the organization.
• All: This value is for messages sent to all recipients.

The UserCanOverride parameter specifies whether users can override actions taken by Outlook protection rules. By default, users can override actions taken by Outlook protection rules. When set to $false, the UserCanOverride parameter prevents the user from overriding the rule when sending the message.

The WhatIf switch simulates the actions of the command. You can use this switch to view the changes that would occur without actually applying those changes. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.
