For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Syntax.

Syntax


`Remove-ThrottlingPolicy -Identity <ThrottlingPolicyIdParameter> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-Force <SwitchParameter>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]`

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

This example removes the user throttling policy ClientThrottlingPolicy2.

	Copy Code
Remove-ThrottlingPolicy -Identity ClientThrottlingPolicy2

EXAMPLE 2

You can't remove a policy that's associated with any users. This example reassigns the users subject to ClientThrottlingPolicy2 to the default policy. Then, it removes ClientThrottlingPolicy2.

	Copy Code
$policy = Get-ThrottlingPolicy ClientThrottlingPolicy2; $mailboxes = Get-Mailbox \| where-object {$_.ThrottlingPolicy -eq $policy.Identity}; $defaultPolicy = Get-ThrottlingPolicy \| where-object {$_.IsDefault -eq $true}; foreach ($mailbox in $mailboxes) { set-mailbox -Identity $mailbox.Identity -ThrottlingPolicy $defaultPolicy; } Remove-ThrottlingPolicy ClientThrottlingPolicy2;

Copy Code

$policy = Get-ThrottlingPolicy ClientThrottlingPolicy2;
$mailboxes = Get-Mailbox | where-object {$_.ThrottlingPolicy -eq $policy.Identity};
$defaultPolicy = Get-ThrottlingPolicy | where-object {$_.IsDefault -eq $true};
foreach ($mailbox in $mailboxes)
{
  set-mailbox -Identity $mailbox.Identity -ThrottlingPolicy $defaultPolicy;
}
Remove-ThrottlingPolicy ClientThrottlingPolicy2;

Detailed Description

You can't remove the default client throttling policy. Also, you can't remove a policy associated with any users. For more information, see EXAMPLE 2.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
Identity	Required	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.ThrottlingPolicyIdParameter	The Identity parameter identifies the throttling policy you want to remove. Use the name that matches the name of the policy in Active Directory.
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.
Force	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The Force switch specifies whether to suppress warning or confirmation messages. This switch can be used when the task is run programmatically and prompting for administrative input is inappropriate. If the Force switch isn't provided in the command, you're prompted for administrative input. You don't have to specify a value with this 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.
