You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Message classifications" entry in the Transport Permissions topic.

Note:
You can't use the Exchange Management Console to create a message classification.

To create a new message classification instance, you must use the New-MessageClassification cmdlet in the Exchange Management Shell. The New-MessageClassification cmdlet requires four parameters to create a new message classification:

• DisplayName
  
  
• Locale
  
  
• Name
  
  
• SenderDescription
  
  

You should also consider setting a value for the optional RecipientDescription parameter so that recipients are provided with a detailed description about the intent of the classification and how they should handle the message.

This example creates a new message classification with only the required classification parameters:

	Copy Code
New-MessageClassification -Name NewMessageClassification -DisplayName "New Message Classification" -SenderDescription "This is the description that explains to the sender when to use this classification" -Locale en-EN

This example creates a new message classification that includes the RecipientDescription parameter with the required classification parameters:

	Copy Code
New-MessageClassification -Name NewMessageClassification -DisplayName "New Message Classification" -SenderDescription "This is the description that explains to the sender when to use this classification" -RecipientDescription "This is the description that explains to the recipient the intent of the classification and how they should handle the message" -Locale en-EN

After creating a new message classification, you may also want to:
