Syntax
Export-DlpPolicyCollection
[[-Identity] <DlpPolicyIdParameter>]
[-Confirm]
[-DomainController <Fqdn>]
[-WhatIf]
[<CommonParameters>]
Description
The Export-DlpPolicyCollection cmdlet exports the settings of the DLP policies and the associated transport rules. You use the Import-DlpPolicyCollection to import the DLP policy collection into your organization.
You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.
Examples
Example 1
$DlpPol = Export-DlpPolicyCollection
[System.IO.File]::WriteAllBytes('C:\My Documents\Contoso PII.xml', $DlpPol.FileData)
This example exports all the elements of the existing DLP policies to the file C:\My Documents\Contoso PII.xml.
Parameters
-Confirm
The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.
- Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax:
-Confirm:$false
. - Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.
