Use the Set-ThrottlingPolicyAssociation cmdlet to associate a throttling policy with a specific object. The object can be a user with a mailbox, a user without a mailbox, a contact, or a computer account.

Syntax

Set-ThrottlingPolicyAssociation -Identity <ThrottlingPolicyAssociationIdParameter> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-IgnoreDefaultScope <SwitchParameter>] [-ThrottlingPolicy <ThrottlingPolicyIdParameter>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]

Detailed Description

The Set-ThrottlingPolicyAssociation cmdlet defines quota limits for specific objects. For example, if you notice that a user or other object is using excessive bandwidth, you can associate that object with a throttling policy that's more restrictive.

Note:
In data center deployments, the object referred to by the Identity and ThrottlingPolicy parameters must be in the same tenant.

For more information, see Understanding Client Throttling Policies and Managing Performance with Client Throttling Policies.

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 "Client throttling settings" entry in the Client Access Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Identity

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.ThrottlingPolicyAssociationIdParameter

The Identity parameter specifies the object to which you want to associate a throttling policy. The object can be a user with a mailbox, a user without a mailbox, a contact, or a computer account.

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.

IgnoreDefaultScope

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The IgnoreDefaultScope parameter instructs the command to ignore the default recipient scope setting for the Exchange Management Shell session and use the entire forest as the scope. This allows the command to access Active Directory objects that aren't currently in the default scope. Using the IgnoreDefaultScope parameter introduces the following restrictions:

  • You can't use the DomainController parameter. The command uses an appropriate global catalog server automatically.

  • You can only use the distinguished name (DN) for the Identity parameter. Other forms of identification, such as alias or GUID, aren't accepted.

ThrottlingPolicy

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.ThrottlingPolicyIdParameter

The ThrottlingPolicy parameter specifies the throttling policy that you want to be associated with the object specified by the Identity parameter.

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.
