[<CommonParameters>] Description
The cmdlets in Basic Mobility and Security are described in the following list:
- DeviceTenantPolicy and DeviceTenantRule cmdlets: A policy that defines whether to block or allow mobile device access to Exchange Online email by unsupported devices that use Exchange ActiveSync only. This setting applies to all users in your organization. Both allow and block scenarios allow reporting for unsupported devices, and you can specify exceptions to the policy based on security groups.
- DeviceConditionalAccessPolicy and DeviceConditionalAccessRule cmdlets: Policies that control mobile device access to Microsoft 365 for supported devices. These policies are applied to security groups. Unsupported devices are not allowed to enroll in Basic Mobility and Security.
- DeviceConfigurationPolicy and DeviceConfigurationRule cmdlets: Policies that control mobile device settings for supported devices. These policies are applied to security groups.
- Get-DevicePolicy: Returns all Basic Mobility and Security policies regardless of type (DeviceTenantPolicy, DeviceConditionalAccessPolicy or DeviceConfigurationPolicy).
For more information about Basic Mobility and Security, see Overview of Basic Mobility and Security for Microsoft 365.
To use this cmdlet in Security & Compliance PowerShell, you need to be assigned permissions. For more information, see Permissions in the Microsoft Defender portal or Permissions in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal.
Examples
Example 1
New-DeviceTenantRule -ExclusionList "e10214c1-49b6-47d2-b5e6-466e918648b1","6e3931bd-a716-4bb9-9a2f-093aa2c967b4"This example creates a new mobile device tenant rule with GUIDs of the security groups named Engineering and Research and Development on the exclusion list. Members of these groups are allowed access even if they use non-compliant devices
You can have only one mobile device tenant rule in your organization.
Parameters
-ApplyPolicyTo
The ApplyPolicyTo parameter specifies where to apply the policy in your organization. Valid values for this parameter are:
- ExchangeOnline
- SharePointOnline
- ExchangeAndSharePoint
| Type: | PolicyResourceScope |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Security & Compliance |
-BlockUnsupportedDevices
The BlockUnsupportedDevices parameter specifies whether to block access to your organization by unsupported devices. Valid values for this parameter are:
- $true: Unsupported devices are blocked.
- $false: Unsupported devices are allowed.
| Type: | Boolean |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |

-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.
