Remove Microsoft Information Protection Label from One Drive Files.

Question

Hi,

We have got a situation where we need to migrate the OneDrive data to another OneDrive account in different tenant. It is a tenant-to-tenant migration.

Most of the files are MIP labelled, we need to remove these labels from the file before migration.

Please suggest possible ways (PS Script, SDK or any tool etc.) will help here.

Thank you for your answers in advance.

@Sundram Sontirkey - Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

To remove Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) labels from OneDrive files, you can use the PowerShell module for Azure Information Protection. Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Install the Azure Information Protection PowerShell module by running the following command in PowerShell as an administrator: Install-Module -Name AzureInformationProtection
2. Connect to your Azure Information Protection tenant by running the following command: Connect-AipService
3. The correct cmdlet to remove the Azure Information Protection label from a file is Set-AIPFileLabel with the -RemoveLabel parameter. Here is an example command to remove the label from a specific file:

      Set-AIPFileLabel -Path "C:\path\to\file.docx" -RemoveLabel
   

   And here is an example command to remove the label from all Word documents in a folder:

      Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\path\to\folder" -Filter *.docx | ForEach-Object { Set-AIPFileLabel -Path $_.FullName -RemoveLabel }
   

   This will remove the MIP label from all Word documents in the specified folder.
4. After removing the MIP label from the files, you can migrate them to the new OneDrive account.

For more details, refer to Set-AIPFileLabel.
