New Federation Trust

Use the New Federation Trust wizard to create a new federation trust. A federation trust establishes trust with Windows Live as a prerequisite for enabling sharing of calendar free/busy information and contacts between two Exchange organizations, or allowing users to share with external recipients.

For more information, see Create a Federation Trust.

Manage Federation

Use the Manage Federation wizard to configure the federation trust and federated organization identifier. The federated organization identifier specifies the accepted domains in an Exchange Server organization that are available for federation. Only users that have e-mail addresses with domains configured with the federated organization identifier can participate in federated sharing. The first domain specified with the organization identifier is called the account namespace. Additional domains can subsequently be added to the organization identifier.

Note:
This action is only available when a federation trust is selected in the result pane.

For more information, see Manage Federation.

New Organization Relationship

Use the New Organization Relationship wizard to define a partnership for federated sharing with an external Exchange organization. The partnership is defined by specifying the domains configured for federated sharing in the external Exchange organization. Features can be enabled for an organization relationship, allowing you to control the information that is shared with the external organization.
