Configure and install the information protection scanner
Note
There's a new version of the information protection scanner. For more information, see Upgrade the Microsoft Purview Information Protection scanner.
This article describes how to configure and install the Microsoft Purview Information Protection scanner, formerly named Azure Information Protection unified labeling scanner, or the on-premises scanner.
Tip
While most customers will perform these procedures in the admin portal, you may need to work in PowerShell only.
For example, if you are working in an environment without access to the admin portal, such as Azure China 21Vianet, follow the instructions in Use PowerShell to configure the scanner.
Overview
Before you start, verify that your system complies with the required prerequisites.
Then, use the following steps to configure and install the scanner:
Next, perform the following configuration procedures as needed for your system:
| Procedure | Description |
|---|---|
| Change which file types to protect | You may want to scan, classify, or protect different file types than the default. For more information, see The scanning process. |
| Upgrading your scanner | Upgrade your scanner to use the latest features and improvements. |
| Editing data repository settings in bulk | Use import and export options to make changes in bulk for multiple data repositories. |
| Use the scanner with alternative configurations | Use the scanner without configuring labels with any conditions |
| Optimize performance | Guidance to optimize your scanner performance |
If you don't have access to the scanner pages in the Microsoft Purview portal or the Microsoft Purview compliance portal, configure any scanner settings in PowerShell only. For more information, see Use PowerShell to configure the scanner and Supported PowerShell cmdlets.
Configure the scanner settings
Before you install the scanner, or upgrade it from an older general availability version, configure or verify your scanner settings. For this configuration, you can use either the Microsoft Purview portal or the Microsoft Purview compliance portal.
To configure your scanner in the Microsoft Purview portal or Microsoft Purview compliance portal:
- Sign in using one of the following roles:
- Compliance Administrator
- Compliance Data Administrator
- Security Administrator
- Organization Management
Depending on the portal you're using, navigate to one of the following locations:
Sign in to the Microsoft Purview portal > Settings card > Information Protection > Information protection scanner.
Sign in to the Microsoft Purview compliance portal > Settings > Information protection scanner.
Create a scanner cluster. This cluster defines your scanner and is used to identify the scanner instance, such as during installation, upgrades, and other processes.
Create a content scan job to define the repositories you want to scan.
Create a scanner cluster
To create a scanner cluster in the Microsoft Purview portal or Microsoft Purview compliance portal:
From the tabs on the Information protection scanner page, select Clusters.
On the Clusters tab, select Add
.On the New cluster pane, enter a meaningful name for the scanner, and an optional description.
The cluster name is used to identify the scanner's configurations and repositories. For example, you might enter Europe to identify the geographical locations of the data repositories you want to scan.
You'll use this name later on to identify where you want to install or upgrade your scanner.
Select Save to save your changes.
Create a content scan job
Deep dive into your content to scan specific repositories for sensitive content.
To create your content scan job on the Microsoft Purview portal of Microsoft Purview compliance portal:
From the tabs on the Information protection scanner page, select Content scan jobs.
On the Content scan jobs pane, select Add
.For this initial configuration, configure the following settings, and then select Save.
Setting Description Content scan job settings - Schedule: Keep the default of Manual
- Info types to be discovered: Change to Policy onlyDLP policy If you're using a data loss prevention policy, set Enable DLP rules to On. For more information, see Use a DLP policy. Sensitivity policy - Enforce sensitivity labeling policy: Select Off
- Label files based on content: Keep the default of On
- Default label: Keep the default of Policy default
- Relabel files: Keep the default of OffConfigure file settings - Preserve "Date modified", "Last modified" and "Modified by": Keep the default of On
- File types to scan: Keep the default file types for Exclude
- Default owner: Keep the default of Scanner Account
- Set repository owner: Use this option only when using a DLP policy.Open the content scan job that was saved, and select the Repositories tab to specify the data stores to be scanned.
Specify UNC paths and SharePoint Server URLs for SharePoint on-premises document libraries and folders.
Note
SharePoint Server 2019, SharePoint Server 2016, and SharePoint Server 2013 are supported for SharePoint. SharePoint Server 2010 is also supported when you have extended support for this version of SharePoint.
To add your first data store, while on the Repositories tab:
On the Repositories pane, select Add:
On the Repository pane, specify the path for the data repository, and then select Save.
- For a network share, use
\\Server\Folder. - For a SharePoint library, use
http://sharepoint.contoso.com/Shared%20Documents/Folder. - For a local path:
C:\Folder - For a UNC path:
\\Server\Folder
- For a network share, use
Note
Wildcards are not supported and WebDav locations are not supported. Scanning of OneDrive locations as repositories is not supported.
If you add a SharePoint path for Shared Documents:
- Specify Shared Documents in the path when you want to scan all documents and all folders from Shared Documents.
For example:
http://sp2013/SharedDocuments - Specify Documents in the path when you want to scan all documents and all folders from a subfolder under Shared Documents.
For example:
http://sp2013/Documents/SalesReports - Or, specify only the FQDN of your SharePoint, for example
http://sp2013to discover and scan all SharePoint sites and subsites under a specific URL and subtitles under this URL. Grant scanner Site Collector Auditor rights to enable this.
For the remaining settings on this pane, don't change them for this initial configuration, but keep them as Content scan job default. The default setting means that the data repository inherits the settings from the content scan job.
Use the following syntax when adding SharePoint paths:
Path Syntax Root path http://<SharePoint server name>
Scans all sites, including any site collections allowed for the scanner user.
Requires additional permissions to automatically discover root contentSpecific SharePoint subsite or collection One of the following:
-http://<SharePoint server name>/<subsite name>
-http://SharePoint server name>/<site collection name>/<site name>
Requires additional permissions to automatically discover site collection contentSpecific SharePoint library One of the following:
-http://<SharePoint server name>/<library name>
-http://SharePoint server name>/.../<library name>Specific SharePoint folder http://<SharePoint server name>/.../<folder name>Repeat the previous steps to add as many repositories as needed.
You're now ready to install the scanner with the content scanner job that you've created. Continue with Install the scanner.
Install the scanner
After you've configured the scanner, perform the following steps to install the scanner. This procedure is performed fully in PowerShell.
Sign in to the Windows Server computer that will run the scanner. Use an account that has local administrator rights and that has permissions to write to the SQL Server master database.
Important
You must have the information protection client installed on your machine before installing the scanner.
For more information, see Prerequisites for installing and deploying the information protection scanner.
Open a Windows PowerShell session with the Run as an administrator option.
Run the Install-Scanner cmdlet, specifying your SQL Server instance on which to create a database for the information protection scanner, and the scanner cluster name that you specified in the preceding section:
Install-Scanner -SqlServerInstance <name> -Cluster <cluster name>Examples, using the scanner cluster name of Europe:
For a default instance:
Install-Scanner -SqlServerInstance SQLSERVER1 -Cluster EuropeFor a named instance:
Install-Scanner -SqlServerInstance SQLSERVER1\SCANNER -Cluster EuropeFor SQL Server Express:
Install-Scanner -SqlServerInstance SQLSERVER1\SQLEXPRESS -Cluster Europe
When you're prompted, provide the Active Directory credentials for the scanner service account.
Use the following syntax:
\<domain\user name>. For example:contoso\scanneraccountVerify that the service is now installed by using Administrative Tools > Services.
The installed service is named Microsoft Purview Information Protection Scanner and is configured to run by using the scanner service account that you created.
Now that you've installed the scanner, you need to get a Microsoft Entra token for the scanner service account to authenticate, so that the scanner can run unattended.
Get a Microsoft Entra token for the scanner
A Microsoft Entra token allows the scanner to authenticate to the Microsoft Purview Information Protection Scanner service, enabling the scanner to run unattended.
For more information, see Run information protection labeling cmdlets unattended.
To get a Microsoft Entra token:
Navigate to the Azure Portal and proceed to the Microsoft Entra ID Blade.
In the Microsoft Entra ID side pane, click App Registrations.
At the top, go ahead and click + New registration.
In the Name section type in InformationProtectionScanner.
Leave Supported account types as default.
For the Redirect URI, leave the type as Web but type in http://localhost for the entry portion and click Register.
On the Overview page of this application, note down in your text editor of choice the following IDs: Application (client) ID and Directory (tenant) ID. You will need this later when setting up the Set-AIPAuthentication command.
On the side pane, navigate to Certificates and Secrets.
Click on + New client secret.
In the dialog box that shows up, enter a description for your secret and set it to Expire In 1 year and then Add the secret.
You should see now under the client secrets section that there is an entry with the Secret Value. Go ahead and copy this value and store it in the file where you saved the Client ID and Tenant ID. This is the only time you will be able to see the secret value, it will not be recoverable if you don't copy it at this time.
On the side pane, navigate to API Permissions.
Go ahead and select Add a permission.
When the screen shows, select Azure Rights Management Service. Then select Application Permissions.
Click the drop down for Content and put checkmarks down for Content.DelegatedReader and Content.DelegatedWriter. Then at the bottom of the screen, click Add Permissions.
Navigate back the API Permissions section and add another permission.
This time, for the Select an API section, click on APIs my organization uses. In the search bar, type in Microsoft Information Protection Sync Service and select it.
Select Application Permissions and then in the Unified Policy drop down, checkmark the permission UnifiedPolicy.Tenant.Read. Then at the bottom of the screen, click Add Permissions.
Back on the API Permissions screen, click Grant Admin Consent and look for the operation being successful (signified by a green checkmark).
From the Windows Server computer, if your scanner service account has been granted the Log on locally right for the installation, sign in with this account and start a PowerShell session.
Run Set-Authentication, specifying the values that you copied from the previous step:
Set-Authentication -AppId <ID of the registered app> -AppSecret <client secret sting> -TenantId <your tenant ID> -DelegatedUser <Azure AD account>For example:
$pscreds = Get-Credential CONTOSO\scanner Set-Authentication -AppId "77c3c1c3-abf9-404e-8b2b-4652836c8c66" -AppSecret "OAkk+rnuYc/u+]ah2kNxVbtrDGbS47L4" -DelegatedUser scanner@contoso.com -TenantId "9c11c87a-ac8b-46a3-8d5c-f4d0b72ee29a" -OnBehalfOf $pscreds Acquired application access token on behalf of CONTOSO\scanner.
Tip
If your scanner service account cannot be granted the Log on locally right for the installation, use the OnBehalfOf parameter with Set-Authentication, as described in as described in Run information protection labeling cmdlets unattended.
The scanner now has a token to authenticate to Microsoft Entra ID. This token is valid for one year, two years, or never, according to your configuration of the Web app /API client secret in Microsoft Entra ID. When the token expires, you must repeat this procedure.
Continue using one of the following steps, depending on whether you're using the compliance portal to configure your scanner, or PowerShell only:
You're now ready to run your first scan in discovery mode. For more information, see Run a discovery cycle and view reports for the scanner.
Once you've run your initial discovery scan, continue with Configure the scanner to apply classification and protection.
For more information, see Run information protection labeling cmdlets unattended.
Configure the scanner to apply classification and protection
The default settings configure the scanner to run once, and in reporting-only mode. To change these settings, edit the content scan job.
Tip
If you're working in PowerShell only, see Configure the scanner to apply classification and protection - PowerShell only.
To configure the scanner to apply classification and protection in the Microsoft Purview portal or Microsoft Purview compliance portal:
In the Microsoft Purview portal or Microsoft Purview compliance portal, on the Content scan jobs tab, select a specific content scan job to edit it.
Select the content scan job, change the following, and then select Save:
- From the Content scan job section: Change the Schedule to Always
- From the Enforce sensitivity labeling policy section: Change the radio button to On
Make sure a node for the content scan job is online, then start the content scan job again by selecting Scan now. The Scan now button only appears when a node for the selected content scan job is online.
The scanner is now scheduled to run continuously. When the scanner works its way through all configured files, it automatically starts a new cycle so that any new and changed files are discovered.
Use a DLP policy
Using a data loss prevention policy enables the scanner to detect potential data leaks by matching DLP rules to files stored in file shares and SharePoint Server.
Enable DLP rules in your content scan job to reduce the exposure of any files that match your DLP policies. When your DLP rules are enabled, the scanner may reduce file access to data owners only, or reduce exposure to network-wide groups, such as Everyone, Authenticated Users, or Domain Users.
In the Microsoft Purview portal or Microsoft Purview compliance portal, determine whether you are just testing your DLP policy or whether you want your rules enforced and your file permissions changed according to those rules. For more information, see Create and Deploy data loss prevention policies
DLP policies are configured in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal. For more information about DLP licensing, see Get started with the data loss prevention on-premises scanner.
Tip
Scanning your files, even when just testing the DLP policy, also creates file permission reports. Query these reports to investigate specific file exposures or explore the exposure of a specific user to scanned files.
To use PowerShell only, see Use a DLP policy with the scanner - PowerShell only.
To use a DLP policy with the scanner in the Microsoft Purview portal or Microsoft Purview compliance portal:
In the Microsoft Purview portal or Microsoft Purview compliance portal, navigate to the Content scan jobs tab and select a specific content scan job. For more information, see Create a content scan job.
Under Enable DLP policy rules, set the radio button to On.
Important
Do not set Enable DLP rules to On unless you actually have a DLP policy configured in Microsoft 365.
Turning this feature on without a DLP policy will cause the scanner to generate errors.
(Optional) Set the Set repository owner to On, and define a specific user as the repository owner.
This option enables the scanner to reduce the exposure of any files found in this repository, which match the DLP policy, to the repository owner defined.
DLP policies and make private actions
If you are using a DLP policy with a make private action, and are also planning to use the scanner to automatically label your files, we recommend that you also define the unified labeling client's UseCopyAndPreserveNTFSOwner advanced setting.
This setting ensures that the original owners retain access to their files.
For more information, see Create a content scan job and Automatically apply a sensitivity label to Microsoft 365 data.
Change which file types to protect
By default the scanner protects Office file types and PDF files only.
Use PowerShell commands to change this behavior as needed, such as to configure the scanner to protect all file types, just as the client does, or to protect additional, specific file types.
For a label policy that applies to the user account downloading labels for the scanner, specify a PowerShell advanced setting named PFileSupportedExtensions.
For a scanner that has access to the internet, this user account is the account that you specify for the DelegatedUser parameter with the Set-Authentication command.
Example 1: PowerShell command for the scanner to protect all file types, where your label policy is named "Scanner":
Set-LabelPolicy -Identity Scanner -AdvancedSettings @{PFileSupportedExtensions="*"}
Example 2: PowerShell command for the scanner to protect .xml files and .tiff files in addition to Office files and PDF files, where your label policy is named "Scanner":
Set-LabelPolicy -Identity Scanner -AdvancedSettings @{PFileSupportedExtensions=ConvertTo-Json(".xml", ".tiff")}
For more information, see Change which file types to protect.
Upgrade your scanner
If you've previously installed the scanner and want to upgrade, use the instructions described in Upgrade the Microsoft Purview Information Protection scanner.
Then, configure and use your scanner as usual, skipping the steps to install your scanner.
Edit data repository settings in bulk
Use the Export and Import buttons to make changes for your scanner across several repositories.
This way, you don't need to make the same changes several times, manually, in the Microsoft Purview portal or Microsoft Purview compliance portal.
For example, if you've a new file type on several SharePoint data repositories, you may want to update the settings for those repositories in bulk.
To make changes in bulk across repositories in the Microsoft Purview portal Microsoft Purview compliance portal:
In the Microsoft Purview portal or Microsoft Purview compliance portal, select a specific content scan job and navigate to the Repositories tab within the pane. Select the Export option.
Manually edit the exported file to make your change.
Use the Import option on the same page to import the updates back across your repositories.
Use the scanner with alternative configurations
The scanner usually looks for conditions specified for your labels in order to classify and protect your content as needed.
In the following scenarios, the scanner is also able to scan your content and manage labels, without any conditions configured:
- Apply a default label to all files in a data repository
- Remove existing labels from all files in a data repository
- Identify all custom conditions and known sensitive information types
Apply a default label to all files in a data repository
In this configuration, all unlabeled files in the repository are labeled with the default label specified for the repository or the content scan job. Files are labeled without inspection.
Configure the following settings:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Label files based on content | Set to Off |
| Default label | Set to Custom, and then select the label to use |
| Enforce default label | Select to have the default label applied to all files, even if they're already labeled by turning Relabel files and Enforce default label on |
Remove existing labels from all files in a data repository
In this configuration, all existing labels are removed, including protection, if protection was applied with the label. Protection applied independently of a label is retained.
Configure the following settings:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Label files based on content | Set to Off |
| Default label | Set to None |
| Relabel files | Set to On, with the Enforce default label set to On |
Identify all custom conditions and known sensitive information types
This configuration enables you to find sensitive information that you might not realize you had, at the expense of scanning rates for the scanner.
Set the Info types to be discovered to All.
To identify conditions and information types for labeling, the scanner uses any custom sensitive information types specified, and the list of built-in sensitive information types that are available to select, as defined in your labeling management center.
Optimize scanner performance
Note
If you're looking to improve the responsiveness of the scanner computer rather than the scanner performance, use an advanced client setting to limit the number of threads used by the scanner.
Use the following options and guidance to help you optimize scanner performance:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Have a high speed and reliable network connection between the scanner computer and the scanned data store | For example, place the scanner computer in the same LAN, or preferably, in the same network segment as the scanned data store. The quality of the network connection affects the scanner performance because, to inspect the files, the scanner transfers the contents of the files to the computer running the scanner Microsoft Purview Information Protection Scanner service. Reducing or eliminating the network hops required for the data to travel also reduces the load on your network. |
| Make sure the scanner computer has available processor resources | Inspecting the file contents and encrypting and decrypting files are processor-intensive actions. Monitor the typical scanning cycles for your specified data stores to identify whether a lack of processor resources is negatively affecting the scanner performance. |
| Install multiple instances of the scanner | The scanner supports multiple configuration databases on the same SQL server instance when you specify a custom cluster name for the scanner. Tip: Multiple scanners can also share the same cluster, resulting in quicker scanning times. If you plan to install the scanner on multiple machines with the same database instance, and want your scanners to run in parallel, you must install all your scanners using the same cluster name. |
| Check your alternative configuration usage | The scanner runs more quickly when you use the alternative configuration to apply a default label to all files because the scanner doesn't inspect the file contents. The scanner runs more slowly when you use the alternative configuration to identify all custom conditions and known sensitive information types. |
Additional factors that affect performance
Additional factors that affect the scanner performance include:
| Factor | Description |
|---|---|
| Load/response times | The current load and response times of the data stores that contain the files to scan will also affect scanner performance. |
| Scanner mode (Discovery / Enforce) | Discovery mode typically has a higher scanning rate than enforce mode. Discovery requires a single file read action, whereas enforce mode requires read and write actions. |
| Policy changes | Your scanner performance may be affected if you've made changes to the autolabeling in the label policy. Your first scan cycle, when the scanner must inspect every file, will take longer than subsequent scan cycles that by default, inspect only new and changed files. If you change the conditions or autolabeling settings, all files are scanned again. For more information, see Rescanning files. |
| Regex constructions | Scanner performance is affected by how your regex expressions for custom conditions are constructed. To avoid heavy memory consumption and the risk of timeouts (15 minutes per file), review your regex expressions for efficient pattern matching. For example: - Avoid greedy quantifiers - Use non-capturing groups such as (?:expression) instead of (expression) |
| Log level | Log level options include Debug, Info, Error and Off for the scanner reports. - Off results in the best performance - Debug considerably slows down the scanner and should be used only for troubleshooting. For more information, see the ReportLevel parameter for the Set-ScannerConfiguration cmdlet. |
| Files being scanned | - With the exception of Excel files, Office files are more quickly scanned than PDF files. - Unprotected files are quicker to scan than protected files. - Large files obviously take longer to scan than small files. |
Use PowerShell to configure the scanner
This section describes the steps required to configure and install the scanner when you don't have access to the scanner pages in the Microsoft Purview portal or Microsoft Purview compliance portal, and must use PowerShell only.
Important
Some steps require Powershell whether or not you are able to access the scanner pages in the compliance portal, and are identical. For these steps, see the earlier instructions in this article as indicated.
If you're working with the scanner for Azure China 21Vianet, additional steps are required in addition to the instructions detailed here. For more information, see Microsoft Purview Information Protection for Office 365 operated by 21Vianet.
For more information, see Supported PowerShell cmdlets.
To configure and install your scanner:
Start with PowerShell closed. If you've previously installed the information protection client and scanner, make sure that the Microsoft Purview Information Protection Scanner service is stopped.
Open a Windows PowerShell session with the Run as an administrator option.
Run the Install-Scanner command to install your scanner on your SQL server instance, with the Cluster parameter to define your cluster name.
This step is identical whether or not you're able to access the scanner pages in the compliance portal. For more information, see the earlier instructions in this article: Install the scanner
Get an Azure token to use with your scanner, and then reauthenticate.
This step is identical whether or not you're able to access the scanner pages in the compliance portal. For more information, see the earlier instructions in this article: Get a Microsoft Entra token for the scanner.
Run the Set-ScannerConfiguration cmdlet to set the scanner to function in offline mode. Run:
Set-ScannerConfiguration -OnlineConfiguration OffRun the Set-ScannerContentScan cmdlet to create a default content scan job.
The only required parameter in the Set-ScannerContentScan cmdlet is Enforce. However, you might want to define other settings for your content scan job at this time. For example:
Set-ScannerContentScan -Schedule Manual -DiscoverInformationTypes PolicyOnly -Enforce Off -DefaultLabelType PolicyDefault -RelabelFiles Off -PreserveFileDetails On -IncludeFileTypes '' -ExcludeFileTypes '.msg,.tmp' -DefaultOwner <account running the scanner>The syntax above configures the following settings while you continue the configuration:
- Keeps the scanner run scheduling to manual
- Sets the information types to be discovered based on the sensitivity label policy
- Does not enforce a sensitivity label policy
- Automatically labels files based on content, using the default label defined for the sensitivity label policy
- Does not allow for relabeling files
- Preserves file details while scanning and auto-labeling, including date modified, last modified, and modified by values
- Sets the scanner to exclude .msg and .tmp files when running
- Sets the default owner to the account you want to use when running the scanner
Use the Add-ScannerRepository cmdlet to define the repositories you want to scan in your content scan job. For example, run:
Add-ScannerRepository -OverrideContentScanJob Off -Path 'c:\repoToScan'Use one of the following syntaxes, depending on the type of repository you're adding:
- For a network share, use
\\Server\Folder. - For a SharePoint library, use
http://sharepoint.contoso.com/Shared%20Documents/Folder. - For a local path:
C:\Folder - For a UNC path:
\\Server\Folder
Note
Wildcards are not supported and WebDav locations are not supported.
To modify the repository later on, use the Set-ScannerRepository cmdlet instead.
If you add a SharePoint path for Shared Documents:
- Specify Shared Documents in the path when you want to scan all documents and all folders from Shared Documents.
For example:
http://sp2013/SharedDocuments - Specify Documents in the path when you want to scan all documents and all folders from a subfolder under Shared Documents.
For example:
http://sp2013/Documents/SalesReports - Or, specify only the FQDN of your SharePoint, for example
http://sp2013to discover and scan all SharePoint sites and subsites under a specific URL and subtitles under this URL. Grant scanner Site Collector Auditor rights to enable this.
Use the following syntax when adding SharePoint paths:
Path Syntax Root path http://<SharePoint server name>
Scans all sites, including any site collections allowed for the scanner user.Specific SharePoint subsite or collection One of the following:
-http://<SharePoint server name>/<subsite name>
-http://SharePoint server name>/<site collection name>/<site name>Specific SharePoint library One of the following:
-http://<SharePoint server name>/<library name>
-http://SharePoint server name>/.../<library name>Specific SharePoint folder http://<SharePoint server name>/.../<folder name>- For a network share, use
Continue with the following steps as needed:
- Configuration for customers in China
- Run a discovery cycle and view reports for the scanner
- Use PowerShell to configure the scanner to apply classification and protection
- Use PowerShell to configure a DLP policy with the scanner
Use PowerShell to configure the scanner to apply classification and protection
Run the Set-ScannerContentScan cmdlet to update your content scan job to set your scheduling to always and enforce your sensitivity policy.
Set-ScannerContentScan -Schedule Always -Enforce OnTip
You may want to change other settings on this pane, such as whether file attributes are changed and whether the scanner can relabel files. For more information about the settings available, see the full Set-ScannerContentScan documentation.
Run the Start-Scan cmdlet to run your content scan job:
Start-Scan
The scanner is now scheduled to run continuously. When the scanner works its way through all configured files, it automatically starts a new cycle so that any new and changed files are discovered.
Use PowerShell to configure a DLP policy with the scanner
Run the Set-ScannerContentScan cmdlet again with the -EnableDLP parameter set to On, and with a specific repository owner defined.
For example:
Set-ScannerContentScan -EnableDLP On -RepositoryOwner 'domain\user'
