[-WhatIf]
[<CommonParameters>] Description
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
Set-ClassificationRuleCollection -FileData ([System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes('C:\My Documents\External Classification Rule Collection.xml'))This example imports the classification rule collection file C:\My Documents\External Classification Rule Collection.xml.
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.

-FileData
The FileData parameter specifies the classification rule collection file you want to import.
A valid value for this parameter requires you to read the file to a byte-encoded object using the following syntax: ([System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes('<Path>\<FileName>')). You can use this command as the parameter value, or you can write the output to a variable ($data = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes('<Path>\<FileName>')) and use the variable as the parameter value ($data).
