Syntax


`New-DlpPolicy [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-Description <String>] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-Mode <Audit \| AuditAndNotify \| Enforce>] [-Name <String>] [-Organization <OrganizationIdParameter>] [-Parameters <Hashtable>] [-State <Enabled \| Disabled>] [-Template <String>] [-TemplateData <Byte[]>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]`

Examples

This example creates a new DLP policy named Contoso PII with the following values:

The DLP policy is enabled and set to audit only.
The DLP policy is based on the existing PII (U.S.) DLP policy template.

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 "Data loss prevention (DLP)" entry in the Messaging Policy and Compliance Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
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.
Description	Optional	System.String	The Description parameter specifies an optional description for the DLP policy.
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.
Mode	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.MessagingPolicies.Rules.RuleMode	The Mode parameter specifies the action and notification level of the DLP policy. Valid values for this parameter are: `Audit`: The actions specified by the DLP policy aren't enforced when a message matches the conditions specified by the policy, and the Policy Tip isn't displayed to the user. `AuditAndNotify`: The actions specified by the DLP policy aren't enforced when a message matches the conditions specified by the policy, but the Policy Tip is displayed to the user in a supported email client. `Enforce`: The actions specified by the DLP policy are enforced when a message matches the conditions specified by the policy, and the Policy Tip is displayed to the user in a supported email client. By default, the value of this parameter is set to `Audit` when you create a new DLP policy. If the State parameter is set to `Disabled`, the value of the Mode parameter is irrelevant.
Name	Optional	System.String	The Name parameter specifies a descriptive name for the DLP policy.
Organization	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.OrganizationIdParameter	The Organization parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.
Parameters	Optional	System.Collections.Hashtable	The Parameters parameter specifies the parameter values that are required by the DLP policy template that you specify using the Template or TemplateData parameters. DLP policy templates may contain parameters that need to be populated with values from your organization. For example, a DLP policy template may include an exception group that defines users who are exempt from the DLP policy. Valid input for this parameter is in the format: @{<parameter1>="<value1>";<parameter2>="<value2>"...}.
State	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.MessagingPolicies.Rules.RuleState	The State parameter enables or disables the DLP policy. Valid input for this parameter is `Enabled` or `Disabled`. By default, a new DLP policy that you create is enabled. If you want to create a disabled DLP policy, specify the value `Disabled` for this parameter.
Template	Optional	System.String	The Template parameter specifies the existing DLP policy template from which you can create a new DLP policy. You can't use the Template and TemplateData parameters in the same command.
TemplateData	Optional	System.Byte[]	The TemplateData parameter specifies an external DLP policy template file from which you can create a new DLP policy. You can't use the TemplateData and Template parameters in the same command. For more information about the syntax required to use this parameter, see Syntax.
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.
