Description

On Edge Transport servers, you need to be a member of the local Administrators group to run this cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1

Get-IPBlockListEntry | Where {$_.IPRange -eq '192.168.0.100'} | Remove-IPBlockListEntry

This example removes the IP address 192.168.0.100 from the IP Block list.

Example 2

Get-IPBlockListEntry | Where {$_.IPRange -eq '192.168.0.0/24'} | Remove-IPBlockListEntry

This example removes the IP address range 192.168.0.0/24 from the IP Block list.

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.
