Creating a DLP Policy using PowerShell I get asked for EnvironmentType

Hi

I am trying to create my PowerPlatform DLP Policy using PowerShell (like all good admins should).  I get the following request:-

 

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> New-DlpPolicy -DisplayName "Test"

cmdlet New-DlpPolicy at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:
EnvironmentType:

 

What should I supply for EnvironmentType ?

 

If I look at the documentation via Get-Help I get this :-

 

PS C:\>New-DlpPolicy -NewPolicy $NewPolicy Creates a new policy with $NewPolicy object.

 

What is a $NewPolciyOBject ?

 

Thanks

 

Nigel

    Acceptable options are 1 or AllEnvironments, 2 or OnlyEnvironments, 3 or ExceptEnvironments for EntityType. 

     

    All Environments is tenant level

    Only Environments is environment specific

    ExceptEnvironments is all environments with exceptions

     

    I prefer creating dlp rules via the COE starter kit dlp manager app as it tells me what apps or flows will be impacted by a DLP change

    Thanks @jlindstrom 

     

    If I was amending a Data Loss Policy, then certainly I would use the DLP Editor to see what the effect of changing the DLP would be on existing Apps.

     

    In my use case, I want to setup the DLP for a new Environment for a project team, so there would be no existing Apps.

     

    I want a repeatable process.

     

    Regards

    I'm having similar issues passing the 'Environment' parameter, the example in the documentation is -Environment $Environment.

     

    Rule number one of defining something, dont use it in it's own definition! Is there somewhere i should be looking for better documentation? 

     

    In the meantime can someone please enlighten me as to how to pass a valid value for -Environment ?
