Remove-EOPProtectionPolicyRule
This cmdlet is available only in the cloud-based service.
Use the Remove-EOPProtectionPolicyRule cmdlet to remove rules for default email protections for all cloud mailboxes in preset security policies. The rules specify recipient conditions and exceptions for the protection, and also allow you to turn on and turn off the associated preset security policies.
Note: Use this cmdlet to remove a rule only if you plan to immediately recreate the rule using the New-EOPProtectionPolicyRule cmdlet. The affected preset security policy can't function without a corresponding rule.
For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.

Description
For more information about preset security policies in PowerShell, see Preset security policies in Exchange Online PowerShell.
You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this article lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you might not have access to some parameters if they aren't 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-EOPProtectionPolicyRule -Identity "Standard Preset Security Policy"
This example removes the existing rule for EOP protections in the Standard preset security policy.
Parameters
-Confirm
Applicable: Exchange Online, Exchange Online Protection
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.
