Detailed Description

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 "Message classifications" entry in the Transport Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
Identity	Required	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.MessageClassificationIdParameter	The Identity parameter specifies the name or GUID of the message classification. This parameter can take a string value.
ClassificationID	Optional	System.Guid	The ClassificationID parameter specifies a GUID of an existing message classification that you want to use in your Exchange organization. Use this parameter if you're configuring message classifications to span two Exchange forests in the same organization.
Confirm	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The Confirm switch causes the command to pause processing and requires you to acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. You don't have to specify a value with the Confirm switch.
DisplayName	Optional	System.String	The DisplayName parameter specifies the display name for the message classification instance. The display name appears in the 2007 Microsoft Office system and is used by Microsoft Outlook users to select the appropriate message classification before they send a message. When you specify a name that includes spaces, you must enclose the name in quotation marks ("), for example, `"Display Name"`. The DisplayName parameter must contain a maximum of 64 characters.
DisplayPrecedence	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.ClassificationDisplayPrecedenceLevel	The DisplayPrecedence parameter specifies the relative precedence of the message classification to other message classifications that may be applied to a specified message. Although Outlook only lets a user specify a single classification on a specified message, transport rules may apply other classifications. This parameter sets the precedence on a specified classification for what's displayed to the recipient in Outlook. The classification with the highest precedence is shown first, and the subsequent classifications, which are those with lesser precedence as defined by this parameter, are appended in the appropriate order thereafter. Valid input for the DisplayPrecedence parameter is `Highest`, `Higher`, `High`, `MediumHigh`, `Medium`, `MediumLow`, `Low`, `Lower`, and `Lowest`. The default value is `Medium`.
DomainController	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn	The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory. The DomainController parameter isn't supported on the Edge Transport server role. The Edge Transport server role writes only to the Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) instance.
Name	Optional	System.String	The Name parameter specifies the administrative name for the message classification instance. The name is used to administer the message classification instance. When you specify a name that includes spaces, you must enclose the name in quotation marks ("), for example, `"Adminstrative Name"`. The Name parameter must contain a maximum of 256 characters.
PermissionMenuVisible	Optional	System.Boolean	The PermissionMenuVisible parameter specifies whether the values that you entered for the DisplayName and RecipientDescription parameters are displayed in the recipient's Outlook message as they're composing a message. If you set the PermissionMenuVisible parameter to `$false`, users won't be able to assign this message classification to the messages they're composing. However, messages received with this message classification still display the classification information. The default value is `$true`.
RecipientDescription	Optional	System.String	The RecipientDescription parameter specifies to the recipient what the message classification is intended to achieve. The text you enter in this parameter is viewed by Outlook users when they receive a message that has this message classification. Enclose the description in quotation marks ("), for example, `"This is the recipient description that explains how to treat the message that has been classified"`. The RecipientDescription parameter can contain a maximum of 1,024 characters. If you don't enter a value for this parameter, the description that you enter for SenderDescription is used.
RetainClassificationEnabled	Optional	System.Boolean	The RetainClassificationEnabled parameter specifies whether the message classification should persist with the message if the message is forwarded or replied to. The default value is `$true`.
SenderDescription	Optional	System.String	The SenderDescription parameter specifies to the sender what the message classification is intended to achieve. The text you enter in this parameter is used by Outlook users to select the appropriate message classification before they send a message. Enclose the description in quotation marks ("), for example, `"This is the sender description that explains when to use this message classification"`. The SenderDescription parameter can contain a maximum of 1,024 characters.
WhatIf	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The WhatIf switch instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf switch, you can view what changes would occur without having to apply any of those changes. You don't have to specify a value with the WhatIf switch.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

This example makes the following configuration changes to the message classification MyMessageClassification:

Changes the display precedence to Low.
Specifies that the message classification shouldn't persist with the message if the message is forwarded or replied to.
