New-DlpEdmSchema

Reference

Module:: ExchangePowerShell

Applies to:: Security & Compliance

This cmdlet is available only in Security & Compliance PowerShell. For more information, see Security & Compliance PowerShell.

Use the New-DlpEdmSchema cmdlet to create exact data match (EDM)-based classification schemas in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal. Such schemas can be used with data loss prevention (DLP) policies.

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

Syntax

New-DlpEdmSchema
   [-FileData] <Byte[]>
   [-Confirm]
   [-WhatIf]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

For an explanation and example of the EDM schema, see Learn about exact data match based sensitive information types.

To use this cmdlet in Security & Compliance PowerShell, you need to be assigned permissions. For more information, see Permissions in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal.

Examples

Example 1

New-DlpEdmSchema -FileData ([System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes('C:\My Documents\edm.xml')) -Confirm:$true

This example creates a new DLP EDM schema using the file named edm.xml in the folder C:\My Documents.

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.

-FileData

The FileData parameter specifies the DLP EDM schema that you want to import.

A valid value for this parameter requires you to read the file to a byte-encoded object using the following syntax: ([System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes('<Path>\<FileName>')). You can use this command as the parameter value, or you can write the output to a variable ($data = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes('<Path>\<FileName>')) and use the variable as the parameter value ($data).
