Examples

EXAMPLE 1

This example creates a non-default user throttling policy that can be associated with specific users. Any parameters that you omit inherit the values from the default throttling policy GlobalThrottlingPolicy_<GUID>. After you create this policy, you must associate it with specific users.

Copy Code
New-ThrottlingPolicy -Name ITUserPolicy -EwsMaxConcurrency 4 -ThrottlingPolicyScope Regular

EXAMPLE 2

This example creates a policy that applies to all users in your organization. Any parameters that you omit inherit the values from the default throttling policy GlobalThrottlingPolicy_<GUID>.

Copy Code
New-ThrottlingPolicy -Name AllUsersEWSPolicy -EwsMaxConcurrency 4 -ThrottlingPolicyScope Organization

EXAMPLE 3

This example creates a throttling policy RemoteSiteUserPolicy that restricts the number of connections for a user to three. The users associated with this policy are only able to create three remote Exchange Management Shell sessions. This policy also restricts to three the number of Exchange Administration Center operations or Exchange Web Services operations that can be executed at the same time.

Copy Code
New-ThrottlingPolicy -Name RemoteSiteUserPolicy -PowerShellMaxConcurrency 3 -PowerShellMaxCmdletQueueDepth 12

EXAMPLE 4

This example creates a throttling policy that restricts a user to be able to only execute 10 cmdlets in a period of five seconds. If the users associated with this policy exceed this number, the cmdlet pipeline execution is stopped with a throttling error message. The user needs to wait for and then resubmit the execution of cmdlets on the open connection.

Copy Code
New-ThrottlingPolicy -Name ITStaffUserPolicyCmdletMax -PowerShellMaxCmdlets 10 -PowerShellMaxCmdletsTimePeriod 5

EXAMPLE 5

This example creates a throttling policy that restricts a user to be able to only execute 10 destructive cmdlets in 60 seconds. If the users associated with this policy exceed this number, the cmdlet pipeline execution is stopped with a throttling error message. The user needs to wait for and then resubmit the execution of cmdlets on the open connection.

Copy Code
New-ThrottlingPolicy -Name ITStaffUserPolicyDestructiveCmdlets -PowerShellMaxDestructiveCmdlets 10 -PowerShellMaxDestructiveCmdletsTimePeriod 60

Detailed Description

By default, there is one default throttling policy named GlobalThrottlingPolicy_<GUID> with a throttling scope of Global. Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Setup creates a default client throttling policy when you install the Exchange 2013 Client Access server role. You should not replace, re-create, or remove the existing default throttling policy. However, you can create additional throttling policies with the scope of Organization or Regular to change your user throttling settings. You can also edit policies with the scope of Organization and Regular that you've created using the Set-ThrottlingPolicy cmdlet.

For more information about how to control how resources are consumed by individual users, see Exchange Workload Management.

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 "User throttling" entry in the Server Health and Performance Permissions topic.

IsServiceAccount

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The IsServiceAccount switch specifies whether you want the user accounts associated with this policy to be moderated by the per-user thresholds specified by this policy, and also by additional throttling based on the health of system resources, such as overall CPU usage.

This value is set to $false by default.

You may want to set this value to $true if you intend to associate this policy with user accounts that require higher throttling limits. An account that might require higher throttling limits is a service account that performs a lot of non-interactive work (for example, service accounts that perform IMAP mailbox migrations or nightly Windows PowerShell tasks).

By setting the IsServiceAccount switch to $true, work done by these accounts is moderated by the higher user throttling settings that you configure using the user throttling policy, but is slowed if resources start getting unhealthy.

MessageRateLimit

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited

The MessageRateLimit parameter specifies the number of messages per minute that can be submitted to transport. For messages submitted through the Mailbox server role (using Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Office Outlook Web App, Exchange ActiveSync, or Exchange Web Services), this results in the deferral of messages until the quota for the user is available. Specifically, messages appear in the Outbox or Drafts folder for longer periods of time when users submit messages at a rate greater than the MessageRateLimit parameter.

For POP or IMAP clients submitting messages directly to transport using SMTP, clients receive a transient error if they submit at a rate that exceeds the MessageRateLimit parameter. Exchange attempts to connect and send the messages at a later time.

A connection is held from the moment a request is received until a response is sent in its entirety to the requestor. If users attempt to make more concurrent requests than their policy allows, the new connection attempt fails. However, the existing connections remain valid. The OwaMaxConcurrency parameter has a valid range from 0 through 2147483647 inclusive. The default value is 5. To indicate that the number of concurrent connections should be unthrottled (no limit), this value should be set to $null.

OwaRechargeRate

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited

The OwaRechargeRate parameter specifies the rate at which an Outlook Web App user's budget is charged (budget grows by) during the budget time.

OwaVoiceCutoffBalance

PowerShellMaxCmdletQueueDepth

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited

The PowerShellMaxCmdletQueueDepth parameter specifies the number of operations allowed to be executed by the user. This value directly affects the behavior of the PowerShellMaxCmdlets and PowerShellMaxConcurrency parameters. For example, the PowerShellMaxConcurrency parameter consumes at least two operations defined by the PowerShellMaxCmdletQueueDepth parameter but additional operations are also consumed per cmdlet execution. The number of operations depends on the cmdlets executed. We recommend that the value for the PowerShellMaxCmdletQueueDepth parameter be at least three times larger than the value of the PowerShellMaxConcurrency parameter. This parameter won't affect Exchange Administration Center operations or Exchange Web Services operations.

PowerShellMaxCmdlets

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited

The PowerShellMaxCmdlets parameter specifies the number of cmdlets that can be executed within a specific time period before their execution is stopped. The value specified by this parameter should be more than the value specified by the ExchangeMaxCmdlets parameter. The time period used for this limit is specified by the PowerShellMaxCmdletsTimePeriod parameter. Both values should be set at the same time.

PowerShellMaxCmdletsTimePeriod

Optional

  • In the context of Remote PowerShell, the PowerShellMaxConcurrency parameter specifies the maximum number of Remote PowerShell sessions that a Remote PowerShell user can have open at the same time.

  • In the context of Exchange Web Services, the PowerShellMaxConcurrency parameter specifies the number of concurrent cmdlet executions that a user can have at the same time.

This parameter value doesn't necessarily correlate to the number of browsers opened by the user.

PowerShellMaxDestructiveCmdlets

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited

The PowerShellMaxDestructiveCmdlets parameter specifies the number of destructive cmdlets that can be executed within a specific time period before their execution is stopped. Destructive cmdlets are cmdlets that can make significant changes to user data and configuration settings in your Exchange organization. Throttling these cmdlets may help prevent accidental data loss. The following cmdlets are designated as destructive:

  • Disable-Mailbox

  • Move-ActiveMailboxDatabase

  • Remove-AcceptedDomain

  • Remove-Mailbox

  • Remove-MailUser

  • Remove-Organization

  • Set-Mailbox

  • Set-MailUser

  • Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy

The time period used for this limit is specified by the PowerShellMaxDestructiveCmdletsTimePeriod parameter. Both values should be set at the same time. This feature isn't on by default. For more information, see the "Examples" section.

PowerShellMaxDestructiveCmdletsTimePeriod

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited

The PowerShellMaxDestructiveCmdletsTimePeriod parameter specifies the time period, in seconds, that the throttling policy uses to determine how many destructive cmdlets can be run. You set a value for this parameter when you set the PowerShellMaxDestructiveCmdlets parameter. Both values should be set at the same time. For more information, see the description for the PowerShellMaxDestructiveCmdlets parameter.

PowerShellMaxOperations

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited

The PowerShellMaxOperations parameter specifies the protocol-level operations that are used to send and receive data. If the execution of a cmdlet results in a significant number of operations (for example, if there is a lot of input/output occurring), throttling may occur. The default setting is Unlimited.

PowerShellMaxRunspaces

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited

The PowerShellMaxRunspaces parameter specifies the number of concurrent Windows PowerShell sessions that a user is allowed to have. The default setting is Unlimited.

PowerShellMaxRunspacesTimePeriod

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited

PowerShellMaxTenantConcurrency

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited

The PowerShellMaxTenantConcurrency parameter limits the number of concurrent Windows PowerShell connections per tenant organization. By default, the limit for concurrent Windows PowerShell connections per tenant organization is set to 9. If users in a tenant organization try to make more concurrent requests than the limit set by the PowerShellMaxTenantConcurrency parameter, the new connection attempt fails. However, the existing connections remain valid. This limit is enforced even if a single user hasn't exceeded the per-user limit set by the PowerShellMaxConcurrency parameter. The PowerShellMaxTenantConcurrency parameter has a valid range from 0 through 100 inclusive. To indicate that the number of concurrent connections should be unthrottled (no limit), this value should be set to $null.

Note:
This property can only be set for the default throttling policy.

PowerShellMaxTenantRunspaces

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited

The PowerShellMaxTenantRunspaces parameter specifies the number of concurrent Windows PowerShell sessions that a tenant is allowed to have.
