Parameters
-CaseType
The CaseType parameter specifies the type of compliance case that you want to create. Valid values are:
- AdvancedEdiscovery: eDiscovery Premium cases are used to manage legal or other types of investigations.
- ComplianceClassifier: This type of case corresponds to a trainable classifier.
- ComplianceWorkspace: This value is reserved for internal Microsoft use.
- DataInvestigation: Data investigation cases are used to investigate data spillage incidents.
- DSR: Data Subject Request (DSR) cases are used to manage General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) DSR investigations.
- eDiscovery: eDiscovery (also called eDiscovery Standard) cases are used to manage legal or other types of investigations. This is the default value.
- InsiderRisk: Insider risk cases are use to manage insider risk management cases. Typically, insider risk management cases are manually created in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal to further investigate activity based on a risk alert.
- InternalInvestigation: This value is reserved for internal Microsoft use.

-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.
