Use the New-FederationTrust cmdlet to set up a federation trust between your Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 organization and the Microsoft Federation Gateway.

Syntax


`New-FederationTrust -Name <String> -Thumbprint <String> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-MetadataUrl <Uri>] [-SuppressDnsWarning <SwitchParameter>] [-UseLegacyProvisioningService <SwitchParameter>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]`


`New-FederationTrust -Name <String> -ApplicationUri <String> -SkipNamespaceProviderProvisioning <SwitchParameter> -Thumbprint <String> [-AdministratorProvisioningId <String>] [-ApplicationIdentifier <String>] [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-MetadataUrl <Uri>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]`

Detailed Description

Federation trusts are trusts created between a Microsoft Exchange 2010 organization and the Microsoft Federation Gateway. A federation trust is required to configure a federated organization identifier for federated delegation.

For more information, see Understanding Federation.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "Federation trusts" entry in the Exchange and Shell Infrastructure Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
Name	Required	System.String	The Name parameter specifies a friendly name for the federation trust.
ApplicationUri	Required	System.String	The ApplicationUri parameter specifies the primary domain used for the federated organization identifier. If you specify the ApplicationUri parameter, you must use the SkipNamespaceProviderProvisioning switch and also specify the AdministratorProvisioningId and ApplicationIdentifier parameters.
SkipNamespaceProviderProvisioning	Required	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The SkipNamespaceProviderProvisioning switch specifies that the trust and federated organization identifier are provisioned externally without using federation functionality in Exchange 2010. If you use this switch, you must specify the ApplicationIdentifier, ApplicationUri, and AdministratorProvisioningId parameters.
Thumbprint	Required	System.String	The Thumbprint parameter specifies the thumbprint of a certificate issued by a public certification authority (CA) trusted by the Microsoft Federation Gateway. For more details, see Understanding Federation.
AdministratorProvisioningId	Optional	System.String	The AdministratorProvisioningId parameter specifies the provisioning key returned by the Microsoft Federation Gateway when an organization has already registered a SiteID or ApplicationID. If you specify the AdministratorProvisioningId parameter, you must use the SkipNamespaceProviderProvisioning switch and also specify the ApplicationIdentifier and ApplicationUri parameters.
ApplicationIdentifier	Optional	System.String	The ApplicationIdentifier parameter specifies the SiteID or ApplicationID when an organization has already registered a SiteID or ApplicationID. If you specify the ApplicationIdentifier parameter, you must use the SkipNamespaceProviderProvisioning switch and also specify the AdministratorProvisioningId and ApplicationUri parameters.
Confirm	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The Confirm switch causes the command to pause processing and requires you to acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. You don't have to specify a value with the Confirm switch.
DomainController	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn	The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory.
MetadataUrl	Optional	System.Uri	The MetadataUrl parameter specifies the URL where WS-FederationMetadata is published by the Microsoft Federation Gateway.
SuppressDnsWarning	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The SuppressDNSWarning parameter specifies whether to display the DNS warning message for creating TXT records in your public DNS when running the New-FederationTrust cmdlet. Valid values are `$true` or `$false`. The default value is `$false`. However, this parameter is automatically set to `$true` when used by the Hybrid Configuration wizard. It’s not recommended that you use this parameter when using the New-FederationTrust cmdlet.
UseLegacyProvisioningService	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The UseLegacyProvisioningService parameter specifies if the legacy interface on the Microsoft Federation Gateway will be used for managing the federation trust, including federated domains, certificates, and federation metadata. Valid input for this parameter is `$true` or `$false`. The default value is `$false`. When using a self-signed certificate for configuring a federation trust with the Microsoft Federation Gateway, the trust needs to be created with the parameter set to `$true`. After the federation trust is created, this behavior can't be changed and requires the deletion and re-creation of the federation trust. We recommend you always use the default value of `$false`.
WhatIf	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The WhatIf switch instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf switch, you can view what changes would occur without having to apply any of those changes. You don't have to specify a value with the WhatIf switch.
