[<CommonParameters>]Description
The Test-IRMConfiguration cmdlet performs a series of steps to test IRM configuration and functionality, including availability of an Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) server, prelicensing and journal report decryption. In Exchange Online organizations, it checks connectivity to RMS Online and obtains and validates the organization's Trusted Publishing Domain (TPD).
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
Test-IRMConfiguration -Sender [email protected]This example tests the IRM configuration in on-premises Exchange for messages sent from the sender [email protected].
Example 2
Test-IRMConfiguration -Sender [email protected] -Recipient [email protected]This example tests the IRM configuration in the cloud-based service for messages sent from [email protected] to [email protected].
Parameters
-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.
