For more information about how to control the resources consumed by individual users, see User workload management in Exchange Server.

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

Remove-ThrottlingPolicy -Identity ClientThrottlingPolicy2

This example removes the user throttling policy ClientThrottlingPolicy2.

Example 2

$policy = Get-ThrottlingPolicy ClientThrottlingPolicy2

$mailboxes = Get-Mailbox | where-object {$_.ThrottlingPolicy -eq $policy.Identity}

$defaultPolicy = Get-ThrottlingPolicy | where-object {$_.IsDefault -eq $true}

foreach ($mailbox in $mailboxes) {Set-Mailbox -Identity $mailbox.Identity -ThrottlingPolicy $defaultPolicy}

Remove-ThrottlingPolicy ClientThrottlingPolicy2

You can't remove a policy that's associated with any users. This example reassigns the users subject to ClientThrottlingPolicy2 to the default policy. Then, it removes ClientThrottlingPolicy2.

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

The DomainController parameter specifies the domain controller that's used by this cmdlet to read data from or write data to Active Directory. You identify the domain controller by its fully qualified domain name (FQDN). For example, dc01.contoso.com.
