Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
JournalEmailAddress	Required	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.RecipientIdParameter	The JournalEmailAddress parameter specifies a recipient object to which journal reports are sent.
Name	Required	System.String	The Name parameter specifies the name of the journal rule. The name of the rule can be up to 64 characters long.
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 journal rule is enabled or disabled. If the rule is disabled, it isn't applied to any email messages. The default value is `$false`.
ExpiryDate	Optional	System.DateTime	This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.
FullReport	Optional	System.Boolean	This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.
LawfulInterception	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.
Organization	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.OrganizationIdParameter	This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.
Recipient	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.SmtpAddress	The Recipient parameter specifies the SMTP address of a mailbox, contact, or distribution group to journal. If you specify a distribution group, all recipients in that distribution group are journaled. All messages sent to or from a recipient are journaled.
Scope	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.MessagingPolicies.Journaling.JournalRuleScope	The Scope parameter specifies the scope of email messages to which the journal rule is applied. Valid values for this parameter are as follows: `Global` Global rules process all email messages that pass through a Transport service. This includes email messages that were already processed by the external and internal rules. The default value is `Global`. `Internal` Internal rules process email messages sent and received by recipients in your organization. `External` External rules process email messages sent to recipients or from senders outside your organization.
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.
