Detailed Description

Outlook protection rules are administrator-created rules applied before a user sends a message using Outlook. Outlook inspects message content and protects messages by applying Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) rights templates.

For more information, see Outlook Protection Rules.

Caution:
Outlook protection rules created without a condition apply to all messages.

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 "Information Rights Management (IRM) configuration" entry in the Messaging Policy and Compliance Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
ApplyRightsProtectionTemplate	Required	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.RmsTemplateIdParameter	The ApplyRightsProtectionTemplate parameter specifies the AD RMS template to apply to the message. An AD RMS template can be specified using the template name. Use the Get-RMSTemplate cmdlet to retrieve templates from your AD RMS server.
Name	Required	System.String	The Name parameter specifies a name for the rule.
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.
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.
Enabled	Optional	System.Boolean	The Enabled parameter specifies whether the Outlook protection rules are enabled. New Outlook protection rules are enabled by default. To create a rule without enabling it, set the Enabled parameter to `$false`.
Force	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The Force switch specifies whether to suppress the confirmation prompt used to warn the administrator when rules are created without any conditions. Rules without any conditions specified apply to all messages. The Force switch doesn't require a value.
FromDepartment	Optional	System.String[]	The FromDepartment parameter specifies the sender's department as a condition. The user's department property is compared with the value specified.
Organization	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.OrganizationIdParameter	The Organization parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.
Priority	Optional	System.Int32	The Priority parameter specifies whether to set the order of processing of Outlook protection rules. Rules with a lower priority value are executed first.
SentTo	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.RecipientIdParameter[]	The SentTo parameter specifies one or more recipients as a rule condition. The identity of recipients in the organization or the SMTP address of external recipients can be specified. The SentTo parameter doesn't accept wildcard characters. When multiple recipients are specified, messages sent to any of the specified recipients are considered a match.
SentToScope	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Management.OutlookProtectionRules.ToUserScope	The SentToScope parameter specifies the message scope as a condition. You can use one of the following values: `InOrganization` This value is for messages sent to recipients within the organization. `All` This value is for messages sent to all recipients.
UserCanOverride	Optional	System.Boolean	The UserCanOverride parameter specifies whether users can override actions taken by Outlook protection rules. By default, users can override actions taken by Outlook protection rules. When set to `$false`, the UserCanOverride parameter prevents the user from overriding the rule when sending the message.
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.
