The Export-AutoDiscoverConfig cmdlet lets you create or update a Service Connection Point (SCP) for an Autodiscover service pointer in a target Exchange forest on a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 computer that has the Client Access server role installed.

Syntax

Export-AutoDiscoverConfig [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-MultipleExchangeDeployments <$true | $false>] [-PreferredSourceFqdn <Fqdn>] [-SourceForestCredential <PSCredential>] [-TargetForestCredential <PSCredential>] [-TargetForestDomainController <String>]

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

DomainController

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

To specify the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller to the Active Directory directory service, include the DomainController parameter on the cmdlet.

MultipleExchangeDeployments

This parameter specifies whether multiple Exchange deployments exist. This setting should be set to $true only if Exchange 2007 is deployed in more than one Active Directory forest and the forests are connected. If set to $true, the list of Authoritative Accepted Domains for the source forest is written to the Autodiscover SCP object. Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 clients will use this object to select the most appropriate forest to search for the Autodiscover service.

PreferredSourceFqdn

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

This parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the Active Directory domain for the Autodiscover pointer SCP object.

This parameter specifies the credentials to use to connect to the target forest.

Detailed Description

The Export-AutoDiscoverConfig cmdlet lets you create or update an Autodiscover Service Connection Point (SCP) pointer in a target Exchange forest on an Exchange 2007 Client Access server.
