Remove-DataClassification

Reference

Module:: ExchangePowerShell

Applies to:: Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019, Exchange Online

This cmdlet is functional only in on-premises Exchange.

In Exchange Online, this cmdlet has been replaced by the Remove-DlpSensitiveInformationType cmdlet in Security & Compliance PowerShell.

Use the Remove-DataClassification cmdlet to remove data classification rules that use document fingerprints. You can't use this cmdlet to remove built-in data classification rules.

For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.

Syntax

Remove-DataClassification
      [-Identity] <DataClassificationIdParameter>
      [-Confirm]
      [-DomainController <Fqdn>]
      [-WhatIf]
      [<CommonParameters>]

Description

Classification rule packages are used by data loss prevention (DLP) to detect sensitive content in messages.

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

Remove-DataClassification "Contoso Confidential"

This example removes the data classification rule named "Contoso Confidential".

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.
