Description

You can enable or disable specific journal rules in your organization at any time using the Disable-JournalRule and Enable-JournalRule cmdlets.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. 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

Disable-JournalRule "Brokerage Communications"

This example disables the journal rule Brokerage Communications.

Example 2

Get-JournalRule | Disable-JournalRule

This example disables all journal rules. The Get-JournalRule cmdlet is used to add all journal rules to the pipeline. The results are piped to the Disable-JournalRule cmdlet.

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.

This cmdlet has a built-in pause, so use -Confirm:$false to skip the confirmation.
