This topic makes use of pipelining and the Format-List and Format-Table cmdlets. For more information about these concepts, see the following topics:

• Pipelining
• Working with Command Output

What Do You Want to Do?

• Use the Shell to view a list of assignment policies
• Use the Shell to view the details of a single assignment policy
• Use the Shell to find the default assignment policy
• Use the Shell to view mailboxes that are assigned a specific policy

Use the Shell to view a list of assignment policies

You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Assignment policies" entry in the Role Management Permissions topic.

You can view a list of all the assignment policies in your organization by not specifying any assignment policies when you run the Get-RoleAssignmentPolicy cmdlet.

To return a list of all assignment policies in your organization, use the following command.

Get-RoleAssignmentPolicy

To return a list of specific properties for all the assignment policies in your organization, you can pipe the results to the Format-Table cmdlet and specify the properties you want in the list of results. Use the following syntax.

Get-RoleAssignmentPolicy | Format-Table <property 1>, <property 2...>

This example returns a list of all the assignment policies in your organization and includes the Name and IsDefault properties.

Get-RoleAssignmentPolicy | Format-Table Name, IsDefault

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Get-Mailbox or Get-RoleAssignmentPolicy.

Use the Shell to view the details of a single assignment policy

You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Assignment policies" entry in the Role Management Permissions topic.

You can view the details of a specific assignment policy by using the Get-RoleAssignmentPolicy cmdlet and piping the output to the Format-List cmdlet.

To view the details of a specific assignment policy, use the following syntax.

Get-RoleAssignmentPolicy <assignment policy name> | Format-List

This example views the details about the Redmond Users - no Text Messaging assignment policy.

Get-RoleAssignmentPolicy "Redmond Users - no Text Messaging" | Format-List

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Get-Mailbox or Get-RoleAssignmentPolicy.

Use the Shell to find the default assignment policy

You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Assignment policies" entry in the Role Management Permissions topic.

You can find the default assignment policy by piping the output of the Get-RoleAssignmentPolicy cmdlet to the Where cmdlet. With the Where cmdlet, filter the data returned to display only the assignment policy that has its IsDefault property set to $True. This example returns the default assignment policy.

Get-RoleAssignmentPolicy | Where { $_.IsDefault -eq $True }

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Get-Mailbox or Get-RoleAssignmentPolicy.

Use the Shell to view mailboxes that are assigned a specific policy

You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Assignment policies" entry in the Role Management Permissions topic.

You can find all of the mailboxes assigned a specific assignment policy by piping the output of the Get-Mailbox cmdlet to the Where cmdlet. With the Where cmdlet, filter the data returned to display only the mailboxes that have their RoleAssignmentPolicy property set to the assignment policy name you specify. Use the following syntax.

Get-Mailbox | Where { $_.RoleAssignmentPolicy -Eq "<role assignment policy>" }

This example finds all the mailboxes assigned the policy Vancouver End Users.

Get-Mailbox | Where { $_.RoleAssignmentPolicy -Eq "Vancouver End Users" }

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Get-Mailbox or Get-RoleAssignmentPolicy.
