Syntax
Remove-RoleAssignmentPolicy
[-Identity] <MailboxPolicyIdParameter>
[-Confirm]
[-DomainController <Fqdn>]
[-WhatIf]
[<CommonParameters>] Description
The assignment policy you want to remove can't be assigned to any mailboxes or management roles. Also, if you want to remove the default assignment policy, it must be the last assignment policy. Do the following before you attempt to remove an assignment policy:
- Use the Set-Mailbox cmdlet to change the assignment policy for any mailbox assigned the assignment policy you want to remove.
- If the assignment policy is the default assignment policy, use the Set-RoleAssignmentPolicy cmdlet to select a new default assignment policy. You don't need to do this if you're removing the last assignment policy.
- Use the Remove-ManagementRoleAssignment cmdlet to remove any management role assignments assigned to the policy.
For more information about assignment policies, see Understanding management role assignment policies.
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
Get-Mailbox | Where {$_.RoleAssignmentPolicy -Eq "End User"}
Get-Mailbox | Where {$_.RoleAssignmentPolicy -Eq "End User"} | Set-Mailbox -RoleAssignmentPolicy "Seattle End User"
Get-ManagementRoleAssignment -RoleAssignee "End User" | Remove-ManagementRoleAssignment
Remove-RoleAssignmentPolicy "End User"This example removes the role assignment policy named End User.
Find all mailboxes that have the End User policy assigned to them.
Assign a different role assignment policy to the mailboxes. The example uses the policy named Seattle End User.
Remove all management role assignments that are assigned to the End User policy.
Remove the End User role assignment policy.

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.

-DomainController
This parameter is available only in on-premises Exchange.
