Set-SharingPolicy
This cmdlet is available in on-premises Exchange and in the cloud-based service. Some parameters and settings may be exclusive to one environment or the other.
Use the Set-SharingPolicy cmdlet to modify existing sharing policies that control how users inside your organization can share free/busy and contact information with users outside your organization.
For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.
Syntax
Set-SharingPolicy
[-Identity] <SharingPolicyIdParameter>
[-Confirm]
[-Default]
[-DomainController <Fqdn>]
[-Domains <MultiValuedProperty>]
[-Enabled <Boolean>]
[-Name <String>]
[-WhatIf]
[<CommonParameters>] Description
Users can only share free/busy and contact information after federation has been configured between Exchange organizations. After that, users can send sharing invitations to the external recipients as long as those invitations comply with the sharing policy. A sharing policy needs to be assigned to a mailbox to be effective. If a mailbox doesn't have a specific sharing policy assigned, a default policy enforces the sharing options for the mailbox.
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-SharingPolicy -Identity Contoso -Domains "mail.contoso.com: CalendarSharingFreeBusySimple"This example modifies the sharing policy Contoso for contoso.com, which is a domain outside your organization. This policy allows users in the Contoso domain to see simple free/busy information.
Example 2
Set-SharingPolicy -Identity SharingPolicy01 -Domains "contoso.com: CalendarSharingFreeBusySimple", "atlanta.contoso.com: CalendarSharingFreeBusyReviewer", "beijing.contoso.com: CalendarSharingFreeBusyReviewer"This example adds a second domain to the sharing policy SharingPolicy01. When you're adding a domain to an existing policy, you must include any previously included domains.
Example 3
Set-SharingPolicy -Identity "SharingPolicy01" -Enabled $falseThis example disables the sharing policy SharingPolicy01.
Parameters
-Confirm
The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.
- Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax:
-Confirm:$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.

You can use the following values for SharingPolicyAction:
- CalendarSharingFreeBusySimple: Share free/busy hours only
- CalendarSharingFreeBusyDetail: Share free/busy hours, subject and location
- CalendarSharingFreeBusyReviewer: Share free/busy hours, subject, location and the body of the message or calendar item
- ContactsSharing: Share contacts only
