Use the New-RemoteDomain cmdlet to create a managed connection for a remote domain. When you create a remote domain, you can control mail flow with more precision, apply message formatting and messaging policies, and specify acceptable character sets for messages that are sent to and received from the remote domain.

For more information about how to configure the remote domain, see Set-RemoteDomain.

Syntax

New-RemoteDomain -Name <String> -DomainName <SmtpDomainWithSubdomains> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-TemplateInstance <PSObject>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Confirm

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The Confirm parameter causes the command to pause processing and requires the administrator to acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. The default value is $true.

DomainController

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

To specify the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration information from the Active Directory directory service, include the DomainController parameter on the command. The DomainController parameter is not supported on computers that have the Edge Transport server role installed. The Edge Transport server role writes and reads only to the Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) instance.

DomainName

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.SmtpDomainWithSubdomains

Valid input for the DomainName parameter is a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) domain. Enter the SMTP domain that you want to establish as a remote domain. You can use a wildcard character to specify all subdomains of a given domain, as shown in the following example: *.contoso.com. However, you cannot embed a wildcard character, as shown in the following example: domain.*.contoso.com. The domain name string may not contain more than 256 characters.

Name

Required

System.String

Use the Name parameter to create a unique name for remote domain object.

TemplateInstance

Optional

System.Management.Automation.PSObject

When an existing object is supplied to the TemplateInstance parameter, the command uses the configuration of that object to create an identical copy of the object on a local or target server.

WhatIf

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The WhatIf parameter instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf parameter, the administrator can view what changes would occur without having to apply any of those changes. The default value is $true.

Detailed Description

To run the New-RemoteDomain cmdlet, the account you use must be delegated the following:

  • Exchange Organization Administrator role

For more information about permissions, delegating roles, and the rights that are required to administer Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, see Permission Considerations.

Example

The following examples show how to use the New-RemoteDomain cmdlet to create a managed connection for a remote domain.

The first example shows how to create a new remote domain named Contoso.

The second example shows how to create a new remote domain named Adatum. On the Set-RemoteDomain cmdlet, the AllowedOOFType parameter is set to None, and the DisplaySenderName parameter is set to $False on Adatum. Adatum is then assigned to a variable named $Example. The variable $Example is passed through the TemplateInstance parameter when a new remote domain named Contoso is created. This creates an exact copy of the remote domain object Adatum on Contoso. Because the TemplateInstance parameter creates an exact copy of the remote domain object, the values on the AllowedOOFType parameter and DisplaySenderName parameter on Contoso match the values on Adatum.

For more information about how to set additional configuration options on a remote domain object, see Set-RemoteDomain. For more information about how to view configuration information for remote domain objects in your organization, see Get-RemoteDomain.
