The AddExchangeLocation parameter adds email messages to the DLP policy if they're not already included. The valid value for this parameter is All.

If the policy doesn't already include email messages (in the output of the Get-DlpCompliancePolicy cmdlet, the ExchangeLocation property value is blank), you can use this parameter in the following procedures:

• If you use -AddExchangeLocation All by itself, the policy applies to email for all users.

• To include email of specific group members in the policy, use -AddExchangeLocation All with the ExchangeSenderMemberOf parameter in the same command. Only email of members of the specified groups is included in the policy.

• To exclude email of specific group members from the policy, use -AddExchangeLocation All with the ExchangeSenderMemberOfException parameter in the same command. Only email of members of the specified groups is excluded from the policy.

The AddOneDriveLocation parameter adds OneDrive for Business sites to the DLP policy if they're not already included. The valid value for this parameter is All.

• If you use -AddOneDriveLocation All by itself, the policy applies to all OneDrive for Business sites.

• To include sites of specific OneDrive accounts in the policy, use -AddOneDriveLocation All and the OneDriveSharedBy parameter to specify the users. Only the sites of the specified users are included in the policy.

• To include sites of specific group members in the policy, use -AddOneDriveLocation All and the OneDriveSharedByMemberOf parameter to specify the groups. Only the sites of members of the specified groups are included in the policy.

• To exclude sites of specific OneDrive accounts from the policy, use -AddOneDriveLocation All and the ExceptIfOneDriveSharedBy parameter to specify the users. Only sites of the specified users are excluded from the policy.

Use the OneDriveSharedBy, ExceptIfOneDriveShareBy, OneDriveSharedByMemberOf, and ExceptIfOneDriveSharedByMemberOf parameters instead. In the DLP policy settings in the Microsoft Defender portal, you can't specify sites to include or exclude by URL; you specify sites to include or exclude only by users or groups.

Don't use this parameter. See the AddOneDriveLocation parameter for an explanation.

The Comment parameter specifies an optional comment. If you specify a value that contains spaces, enclose the value in quotation marks ("), for example: "This is an admin note".

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.

The PolicyTemplateInfo specifies the built-in or custom DLP policy templates to use in the DLP policy.

For more information about DLP policy templates, see What the DLP policy templates include.

The Priority parameter specifies a priority value for the policy that determines the order of policy processing. A lower integer value indicates a higher priority, the value 0 is the highest priority, and policies can't have the same priority value.

Valid values and the default value for this parameter depend on the number of existing policies. For example, if there are 5 existing policies:

• Valid priority values for the existing 5 policies are from 0 through 4.
• Valid priority values for a new 6th policy are from 0 through 5.
• The default value for a new 6th policy is 5.

If you modify the priority value of a policy, the position of the policy in the list changes to match the priority value you specify. In other words, if you set the priority value of a policy to the same value as an existing policy, the priority value of the existing policy and all other lower priority policies after it is increased by 1.

The RetryDistribution switch redistributes the policy to all Exchange, OneDrive for Business, and SharePoint Online locations. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

Locations whose initial distributions succeeded aren't included in the retry. Policy distribution errors are reported if you used this switch.

Note: Because the process of retrying distribution is a significant operation, run it only if necessary and for one policy at a time. It is not intended to be run every time you update a policy. If you run a script to update multiple policies, wait until the policy distribution is successful before running the command again for the next policy.
