Parameters

-AddAdaptiveScopeLocation

  • GUID

You can enter multiple values separated by commas. If the values contain spaces or otherwise require quotation marks, use the following syntax: "Value1","Value2",..."ValueN".

-Applications

The Applications parameter specifies the applications to include and is relevant only for the following location parameters:

  • ExchangeLocation
  • ModernGroupLocation
  • AdaptiveScopeLocation

This parameter uses the following syntax: "LocationtType:App1,LocationType:App2,...LocationType:AppN where LocationType is User or Group. For example, "User:Exchange,User:OneDriveForBusiness,Group:Exchange,Group:SharePoint" or "User:MicrosoftTeams","User:VivaEngage".

-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.

-RestrictiveRetention

The RestrictiveRetention parameter specifies whether Preservation Lock is enabled for the policy. Valid values are:

  • $true: Preservation Lock is enabled for the policy. No one -- including an administrator -- can turn off the policy or make it less restrictive.
  • $false: Preservation Lock isn't enabled for the policy. This is the default value.

After a policy has been locked, no one can turn off or disable it, or remove apps from the policy. The only ways that you can modify the policy are by adding apps to it, or extending its duration. A locked policy can be increased or extended, but it can't be reduced, disabled, or turned off.

Therefore, before you lock a policy, it's critical that you understand your organization's compliance requirements, and that you don't lock a policy until you are certain that it's what you need.

Type:Boolean
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Security & Compliance

-RetryDistribution

The RetryDistribution switch specifies whether to redistribute the policy to all locations. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

Locations whose initial distributions succeeded aren't included in the retry. Policy distribution errors are reported when you use this switch.

Note: Because the process of retrying distribution is a significant operation, run it only if necessary and for one policy at a time. It is not intended to be run every time you update a policy. If you run a script to update multiple policies, wait until the policy distribution is successful before running the command again for the next policy.
