Detailed Description

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 "Accepted domains" entry in the Mail Flow Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Identity

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.AcceptedDomainIdParameter

The Identity parameter specifies the accepted domain you want to modify. You can use any value that uniquely identifies the accepted domain object. For example, you can use the name, GUID or distinguished name (DN) of the accepted domain.

AddressBookEnabled

Optional

System.Boolean

The AddressBookEnabled parameter specifies whether to enable recipient filtering on the server that accepts mail for this accepted domain. The default values for this parameter are as follows:

  • For authoritative domains   $true

  • For internal relay domains   $false

  • For external relay domains   $false

AuthenticationType

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.AuthenticationType

This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.

CatchAllRecipient

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.RecipientIdParameter

This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.

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.

DomainType

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.AcceptedDomainType

The DomainType parameter specifies the type of accepted domain that you want to configure. Valid values are Authoritative, InternalRelay, and ExternalRelay. You must set at least one value.

In an authoritative domain, messages are delivered to a recipient that has a domain account in your Exchange organization. In an internal relay domain, messages are relayed to a server outside your Exchange organization, but still under the authority of your company or IT department. Use the internal relay domain if you want to treat messages to this domain as internal messages. In an external relay domain, messages are relayed to an email server outside your organization, which you don't control.

The default value is Authoritative.

DualProvisioningEnabled

Optional

System.Boolean

This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.

EnableNego2Authentication

Optional

System.Boolean

This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.

IsCoexistenceDomain

Optional

System.Boolean

This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.

LiveIdInstanceType

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.LiveIdInstanceType

This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.

MailFlowPartner

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.MailFlowPartnerIdParameter

This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.

MakeDefault

Optional

System.Boolean

The MakeDefault parameter specifies whether the accepted domain is the default domain. The default accepted domain is the domain name associated with outbound messages that have encapsulated addresses, such as IMCEANOTES-user+40OtherSystem@contoso.com, for non-Exchange email system interoperability. If you don't interoperate with a non-Exchange email system in your organization, you don't have to set this parameter. For the first accepted domain created in the organization, the default value is $true. For subsequent accepted domains, the default value is $false.

Name

Optional

System.String

The Name parameter specifies a unique name for the accepted domain object.

OutboundOnly

Optional

System.Boolean

The OutboundOnly parameter specifies whether this accepted domain is an internal relay domain for the on-premises deployment for organizations that have coexistence with a cloud-based organization.

The authoritative accepted domain for the on-premises deployment is configured as an internal relay accepted domain on the cloud side. If the on-premises deployment is using Microsoft Forefront Online Protection for Exchange, you must set this parameter to $true for the accepted domain that represents your on-premises deployment. This parameter is used only if the DomainType parameter is set to Authoritative or InternalRelay. The default value is $false.

PendingRemoval

Optional

System.Boolean

This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.

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.
