Use the Set-MailboxAuditBypassAssociation cmdlet to configure mailbox audit logging bypass for user or computer accounts such as service accounts for applications that access mailboxes frequently.
Syntax
Set-MailboxAuditBypassAssociation -Identity
<MailboxAuditBypassAssociationIdParameter>
-AuditBypassEnabled <$true | $false> [-Confirm
[<SwitchParameter>]] [-DomainController <Fqdn>]
[-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]

Detailed Description
When you configure a user or computer account to bypass mailbox audit logging, access or actions taken by the user or computer account to any mailbox isn't logged. By bypassing trusted user or computer accounts that need to access mailboxes frequently, you can reduce the noise in mailbox audit logs.
 Caution: |
|---|
| If you use mailbox audit logging to audit mailbox access and actions, you must monitor mailbox audit bypass associations at regular intervals. If a mailbox audit bypass association is added for an account, the account can access any mailbox in the organization to which it has been assigned access permissions, without any mailbox audit logging entries being generated for such access, or any actions taken such as message deletions. |
You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "Mailbox audit logging" entry in the Messaging Policy and Compliance Permissions topic.
