Get-EVClassificationPolicy

Get-EVClassificationPolicy returns a list of all the Enterprise Vault classification policies that are configured in a site. You can also return the properties of a specific classification policy using the -Name parameter.

Get-EVClassificationPolicy is provided by the snap-in Symantec.EnterpriseVault.PowerShell.AdminAPI.dll.

Syntax

Get-EVClassificationPolicy [[-SiteId] <String>] [[-Name] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

Parameters

Table: Get-EVClassificationPolicy parameters

Parameter

Description

-SiteId

The ID of the site for which to return the Enterprise Vault classification policy details. If you omit this parameter, and the cmdlet cannot determine the ID by looking in the registry, then Get-EVClassificationPolicy prompts you to enter the required ID.

You can use Get-EVSite to obtain the site ID.

-Name

The name of a specific Enterprise Vault classification policy whose properties you want to return.

Examples

  • Get-EVClassificationPolicy

    Returns a list of all the Enterprise Vault classification policies that are configured in the Enterprise Vault site. As no site ID is specified, the cmdlet first looks for it in the registry and then, if it cannot find the ID there, prompts you for it.

  • Get-EVClassificationPolicy -SiteId 13E...EV.example.com

    Returns a list of all the Enterprise Vault classification policies that are configured in the specified Enterprise Vault site.

  • Get-EVClassificationPolicy -SiteId 13E...EV.example.com -Name "Classification policy"

    Returns the properties of the Enterprise Vault classification policy that is named "Classification policy". For example:

    Name                    : Classification policy
EntryId                 : 125...EV.example.com
IsADefaultPolicy        : True
DuringArchivingIndexing : True
DetermineRC             : True
RCDuringDeletion        : True
RCDuringExpiry          : True
PreventRCDuringMove     : True
AllowRCOnRecTypeChange  : True
Description             : Classification policy
SiteId                  : 13E...EV.example.com
Output

This cmdlet returns an object of type Symantec.EnterpriseVault.Admin.ClassificationPolicy, which has the following properties.

Table: Get-EVClassificationPolicy properties

Name

Type

Description

Name

String

The name of the Enterprise Vault classification policy.

EntryId

String

The directory entry ID of the Enterprise Vault classification policy.

IsADefaultPolicy

Boolean

Whether the Enterprise Vault classification policy is a default policy.

DuringArchivingIndexing

Boolean

Whether to classify items during archiving/indexing.

DetermineRC

Boolean

Whether classification is used to determine the retention category.

RCDuringDeletion

Boolean

Whether items are classified during user deletion.

RCDuringExpiry

Boolean

Whether items are classified during automatic expiry.

PreventRCDuringMove

Boolean

Whether to prevent Enterprise Vault from updating the retention categories of archived items when users perform actions that could potentially update these retention categories. For example, users may move archived items between folders to which you have applied different retention categories, or change the retention categories of items in Enterprise Vault Search, if permitted. Both actions can cause the retention categories of the items to change.

AllowRCOnRecTypeChange

Boolean

Whether to allow user actions to update retention categories in instances where this also causes the record types of the items to change (for example, from Temporary to Permanent).

Description

String

The description of the Enterprise Vault classification policy.

SiteId

String

The site ID to which the Enterprise Vault classification policy belongs.

Identity

Number

The identity number of the Enterprise Vault classification policy.
