Get-ClientAccessRule doesn't seem to be available as a cmdlet today?

Question

Hi.
I'm trying to update a client access rule (as it is blocking a user), but when I try to list the rules I get...

PS C:> Connect-ExchangeOnline

PS C:> Get-ClientAccessRule

Get-ClientAccessRule : The term 'Get-ClientAccessRule' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script

file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct

and try again.

At line:1 char:1                                                                                                        + Get-ClientAccessRule                                                                                                  + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                                                                                                      + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (Get-ClientAccessRule:String) [], CommandNotFoundException                    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

I have run the following before trying again, but get the same error...

PS C:> Uninstall-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement -AllVersions

PS C:> Install-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement

PS C:> Import-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement

Can I please check if I am missing something?
Set-ClientAccessRule, New-ClientAccessRule are also unavailable.

Hi, Shawn.

Just to let you know that Microsoft had to switch the Client Access Rule cmdlets back on for the tenant.
Once enabled, I was able to go through and delete off all the Client Access Rules.

Kind regards

Ian

Thank you, Bertrand.

I know that Client Access Rules are being retired, so it probably isn't worth up-voting the thread.
I'll log a ticket with Microsoft to see what can be done.
I assume they will probably delete the active rules.

Kind regards

Ian

Thank you for the suggestion, Bertrand.

The module appears to be listed...

Also, other commands like Get-Mailbox and Get-OrganizationConfig seem to be working fine.
It's as if the Client Access Rule commands have been removed.

Kind regards

Hello Rogers Ian

We welcome you to Microsoft community.

It appears Get-ClientAccessRule isn't available in CMDLET. Did you run the Get-Module -ListAvailable to **** ensure that the Exchange Online Management

module is installed and available on cloud. You can check the available modules and raise a query to PowerShell script community Microsoft PowerShell Community to investigate further.

Hope this helps! Please feel free to reach out if you need any further assistance from our side, we will be happy to help you further.

Sincerely,

Bertrand
