Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Identity

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.X400AuthoritativeDomainIdParameter

The Identity parameter specifies the display name of the X.400 authoritative domain.

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.

Name

Optional

System.String

The Name parameter specifies a unique name for an X.400 authoritative domain object. When you specify a name that includes spaces, you must enclose the name in quotation marks ("), for example, "Display Name". The Name parameter must contain a maximum of 64 characters.

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.

X400DomainName

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.X400Domain

The X400DomainName parameter specifies the X.400 namespace that can only include the X.400 organizational components. Specifically, only the following attribute types are supported:

X400ExternalRelay

Optional

System.Boolean

The X400ExternalRelay parameter specifies whether this authoritative domain is an external relay domain. If you set the X400ExternalRelay parameter to $true, Exchange routes e-mail to the external address and doesn't treat resolution failures to this subdomain as errors.
