Description
The Set-JournalRule cmdlet modifies an existing journal rule used in your organization.
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
Set-JournalRule "Consolidated Messenger" -JournalEmailAddress "ArchiveMailbox@contoso.com"
This example modifies the journal email address to which journal reports are sent by the existing journal rule Consolidated Messenger.
The Identity parameter is positional, which means you can use it without the -Identity label in the supported location in the command (in this case, first). For more information about positional parameters, see About Parameters.
Example 2
Get-JournalRule | Set-JournalRule -JournalEmailAddress "Archive Mailbox"
This example modifies the journal email address for all journal rules. The Get-JournalRule cmdlet is used to retrieve all journal rules. The results are piped to the Set-JournalRule cmdlet to modify the journal recipient.
Parameters
-Confirm
Applicable: Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019, Exchange Server SE, Exchange Online
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.
