Use the Enable-CsAdDomain cmdlet to prepare the domains for Communications Server 2010.

To use cmdlets to prepare the domain

  1. Log on to any server in the domain as a member of the Domain Admins group.

  2. Open the Communications Server Management Shell console, and then run:

    Copy Code 
    Enable-CsAdDomain [Domain <DomainFQDN>] [GroupDomain <FQDN of the domain in which the universal groups reside>]

    For example:

    Copy Code 
    Enable-CsAdDomain Domain domain1.contoso.com GroupDomain domain1.contoso.com

    If you do not specify the Domain parameter, the value defaults to the local domain. If you do not specify the GroupDomain parameter, the value defaults to the local domain and searches for universal groups are in the global catalog and local domain.

To verify that domain preparation was successful

  1. Log on to a computer that is joined to a domain and on which you have the appropriate administrative rights.

  2. Open the Communications Server Management Shell console, and then run:

    Copy Code 
    Get-CsAdDomain [Domain <DomainFQDN>] [GroupDomain <FQDN of the domain in which the universal groups reside>]
