Use the Remove-EmailAddressPolicy cmdlet to remove an existing e-mail address policy.

Syntax

Remove-EmailAddressPolicy -Identity <EmailAddressPolicyIdParameter> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-UseRusServer <String>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Identity

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.EmailAddressPolicyIdParameter

Use the Identity parameter to specify the GUID, distinguished name or e-mail address policy name that represents a specific e-mail address policy. You can also include the path by using the format Path\EmailAddressPolicy.

You can omit the parameter label Identity so that only the e-mail address policy name or GUID is supplied.

Confirm

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The Confirm parameter 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 parameter.

DomainController

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

To specify the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller to be used for retrieving and writing data, include the DomainController parameter in the command.

UseRusServer

Optional

System.String

Note:
This parameter is available only in Exchange 2007 SP2.

The UseRusServer parameter instructs the command to use the specified Mailbox server on which the Address List service is running to obtain and then set mailbox and Active Directory user attributes.

The Address List service is a component in the Exchange System Attendant service. The Address List service creates and maintains Exchange-specific attribute values in Active Directory. You can use the Address List service to update recipient objects in a domain by using specific information, such as address list membership and e-mail addresses.

WhatIf

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The WhatIf parameter instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf parameter, 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 parameter.
