Get-AIPFileStatus

  • Reference
Module:
AzureInformationProtection

Gets the Azure Information Protection label and protection information for a specified file or files.

Syntax

Get-AIPFileStatus
   [-Path] <String[]>
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Get-AIPFileStatus cmdlet returns the Azure Information Protection status of a specified file or all files in a specified path. This status includes whether the file has a label, and if it does, the label name, who applied it, how it was applied, and when.

If your files are stored in SharePoint Online, use the Get-FileSensitivityLabelInfo cmdlet from the SharePointOnlinePowerShell module instead.

The status returned in the Get-AIPFileStatus cmdlet also includes whether the file is protected by Rights Management, and if it is, what Rights Management template was used to apply this protection. If the file was protected with custom permissions (an ad-hoc rights policy) instead of a template, "Restricted Access" is displayed instead of the template name. In addition, the Rights Management owner and Rights Management issuer is displayed, and when the file was protected.

This cmdlet returns label information from your own tenant only.

Note that password-protected files always return the protection status of False.

You can run this cmdlet non-interactively. For more information, see the Unified labeling client admin guide.

Examples

Example 1: Get the label and protection status of a single file

PS C:\> Get-AIPFileStatus -Path \\Finance\Projects\Project.docx

FileName        : \\Finance\Projects\Project.docx
IsLabeled       : True
MainLabelId     : 074e257c-1234-1234-1234-34a182080e71
MainLabelName   : Confidential
SubLabelId      : d9f23ae3-1234-1234-1234-f515f824c57b
SubLabelName    : Finance group
LabelingMethod  : Privileged
LabelDate       : 12/12/2016 12:24:36 PM
IsRMSProtected  : True
RMSTemplateId   : e6ee2481-1234-1234-1234-f744eacd53b0
RMSTemplateName : Contoso - Confidential Finance
RMSOwner        : John@Contoso.com
RMSIssuer       : John@Contoso.com
ContentId       : 4ca757d2-83bf-4ec3-b93b-c7fe9433bf33

This command provides information about a file that is labeled as "Confidential \ Finance group", which is a label that is configured for your tenant. This file was labeled manually by John and it is also protected by using the Rights Management template, "Contoso - Confidential Finance".

Example 2: Get the label and protection status for all files in a folder and export the results to a CSV file

PS C:\> Get-AIPFileStatus -Path \\Finance\Projects\ | Export-Csv C:\Reports\AIP-status.csv

This command gets the label and protection information of all files on the Finance server, in the Projects folder and any of its subfolders. The results are exported to the file named AIP-status.csv so that they can be more easily searched and sorted. If a previous report exists in C:\Reports\Report.csv, it will be overwritten.

Example 3: List the files labeled "Confidential" and export the results to a CSV file

PS C:\> Get-AIPFileStatus -Path \\Finance\Projects\ | Where-Object {$_.MainLabelName -eq 'Confidential'} | Export-Csv C:\Reports\AIP-status.csv

This command gets the label and protection information for just the files that are labeled "Confidential" (regardless of their sublabel) on the Finance server, in the Projects folder and any of its subfolders. The results are exported to the file named AIP-status.csv so that they can be more easily searched and sorted. If a previous report exists in C:\Reports\Report.csv, it will be overwritten.

Example 4: Count of files with a "Confidential" label

PS C:\> (Get-AIPFileStatus -Path C:\Projects\ | Where-Object {$_.MainLabelName -eq 'Confidential'}).Count

5

This command provides the number of files with the "Confidential" label that are in the C:\Projects folder and any of its subfolders. In this example, 5 files are found.
