Description

Data encryption policy cmdlets are the Exchange Online part of Customer Key. For more information, see Controlling your data in Microsoft 365 using Customer Key.

You can assign a data encryption policy to a mailbox by using the DataEncryptionPolicy parameter on the Set-Mailbox cmdlet in Exchange Online PowerShell.

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

This example returns a summary list of all data encryption policies in the organization.

Example 2

The example returns detailed information for the data encryption policy named Europe Mailboxes.

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.
