You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet.

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

New-M365DataAtRestEncryptionPolicy -Name "Default_Policy" -AzureKeyIDs "https://contosoWestUSvault01.vault.azure.net/keys/Key_01","https://contosoEastUSvault01.vault.azure.net/keys/Key_02" -Description "Tenant default policy"

This example creates a Microsoft 365 data-at-rest multi-workload encryption policy named Default_Policy with the specified Azure Key Vault keys and description for all users in your tenant.

Parameters

-AzureKeyIDs

The AzureKeyIDs parameter specifies the URL of the encryption key in the Azure Key Vault that's used for encryption. For example, https://contoso.vault.azure.net/keys/key1/.

You can specify multiple values separated by commas using the following syntax: "AzureKeyID1","AzureKeyID2",..."AzureKeyIDN".

Type:MultiValuedProperty

Default value:None
Required:True

-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.
