Parameter properties

-Confirm

Applicable: Security & Compliance

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on whether 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 to acknowledge the command before proceeding.

Parameter properties

Parameter sets

-DeletedResources

Applicable: Security & Compliance

The DeletedResources parameter specifies the deleted Microsoft 365 Group, mailbox, or mail user to be removed or added as an exclusion to the respective location list. Use this parameter with the AddModernGroupLocationException and RemoveModernGroupLocation parameters for deleted Microsoft 365 Groups, or with the AddTeamsChatLocationException parameter for deleted mailboxes or mail users.

A valid value is a JSON string. Refer to the Examples section for syntax and usage examples of this parameter.

CAUTION: When you use a SMTP address with this parameter, be aware that the same address might also be in use for other mailboxes or mail users. To check for additional mailboxes or mail users with the same SMTP address, use the following command and replace user@contoso.com with the SMTP address to check: Get-Recipient -IncludeSoftDeletedRecipients user@contoso.com | Select-Object DisplayName, EmailAddresses, Description, Alias, RecipientTypeDetails, WhenSoftDeleted

To prevent active mailboxes or mail users with the same SMTP address from being excluded, put the mailbox on Litigation Hold before you run the command with the DeletedResources parameter.

For more information about the deleted Microsoft 365 Group scenario, see Learn more about modern group deletion under retention hold.

For more information about the inactive mailbox scenario, see Learn about inactive mailboxes.

Parameter sets

-RestrictiveRetention

Applicable: Security & Compliance

The RestrictiveRetention parameter specifies whether Preservation Lock is enabled for a retention policy or retention label policy. Valid values are:

• $true: Preservation Lock is enabled for the policy. No one (including an administrator) can turn off the policy or make it less restrictive.
• $false: Preservation Lock isn't enabled for the policy. This value is the default.

After a policy is locked, no one can turn off or disable it, or remove content from the policy. And it's not possible to modify or delete content that's subject to the policy during the retention period. The only way that you can modify the retention policy are by adding content to it, or extending its duration. A locked policy can be increased or extended, but it can't be reduced, disabled, or turned off.

Therefore, before you lock a policy for retention, it's critical that you understand your organization's compliance requirements, and that you don't lock a policy until you are certain that it's what you need.
