  • 2: Always use Base64 encoding for HTML and for plain text.

  • 5: Use QP encoding for HTML and for plain text unless line wrapping is enabled in plain text. If line wrapping is enabled, use 7-bit encoding for plain text.

  • 6: Use Base64 encoding for HTML and for plain text, unless line wrapping is enabled in plain text. If line wrapping is enabled in plain text, use Base64 encoding for HTML, and use 7-bit encoding for plain text.

  • 13: Always use QP encoding for HTML. Always use 7-bit encoding for plain text.

  • 14: Always use Base64 encoding for HTML. Always use 7-bit encoding for plain text.

If no value is specified, Exchange always uses QP encoding for HTML and plain text.

CharacterSet

Optional

System.String

The CharacterSet parameter specifies a character set for this remote domain. The character set that you specify is only used for MIME messages that don't have their own character set specified. Setting this parameter doesn't overwrite character sets already specified in the outbound mail. For a list of valid character set names, see Supported Character Sets for Remote Domain Configuration. To remove the character set value, set the value to $null.

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.

ContentType

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.ContentType

The ContentType parameter specifies the outbound message content type and formatting. Valid values for this parameter are MimeHtmlText, MimeText, or MimeHtml:

  • MimeHtmlText converts messages to MIME messages that use HTML formatting, unless the original message is a text message. If the original message is a text message, the outbound message is a MIME message that uses text formatting.

  • MimeText converts all messages to MIME messages that use text formatting.

  • MimeHtml converts all messages to MIME messages that use HTML formatting.

The default value is MimeHtmlText.

DeliveryReportEnabled

Optional

System.Boolean

The DeliveryReportEnabled parameter specifies whether to allow delivery reports from client software in your organization to the remote domain. The default value is $true.

DisplaySenderName

Optional

System.Boolean

The DisplaySenderName parameter specifies whether to display the sender name. Valid values for this parameter are $true or $false. The default value is $true. This parameter is used for older versions of Exchange and should only be set under the direction of Microsoft Customer Service and Support.

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.

IsCoexistenceDomain

Optional

System.Boolean

The IsCoexistenceDomain parameter specifies whether this remote domain is used to represent your Microsoft Office 365 organization.The default value is $false.

IsInternal

Optional

System.Boolean

The IsInternal parameter specifies whether the recipients in this remote domain should be considered internal recipients. Set this parameter to $true if this remote domain is part of your cross-premises deployment.

When you set this parameter to $true, all transport components, like transport rules or any agents you may have deployed, treat this remote domain as an internal domain.

The default value is $false.

LineWrapSize

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited

The LineWrapSize parameter specifies the line-wrap size for outbound messages. The parameter takes an integer from 0 through 132, or you can overload the parameter by setting the value to unlimited. The default value is unlimited.

MeetingForwardNotificationEnabled

Optional

System.Boolean

The MeetingForwardNotificationEnabled parameter specifies whether to enable meeting forward notifications. When this parameter is enabled, meeting requests forwarded to recipients in the remote domain generate a meeting forward notification to the meeting organizer. When this parameter is disabled, meeting requests forwarded to recipients in the remote domain won't generate a meeting forward notification to the meeting organizer.

Valid values for this parameter are $true or $false. The default value is $true.

Name

Optional

System.String

The Name parameter specifies a unique name for a remote domain object.

NDRDiagnosticInfoEnabled

Optional

System.Boolean

The NDRDiagnosticInfoEnabled parameter specifies whether the diagnostic information is included in NDRs sent to the remote domain.

The diagnostic information of an NDR includes details that help administrators troubleshoot delivery problems. This detailed information includes internal server names. You may not want to expose this information to NDRs sent to external users. If you set this parameter to $false, the diagnostic information section in the NDR body as well as internal server headers from the attached original message headers are removed from the NDR.

The default value is $true.

NDREnabled

Optional

System.Boolean

The NDREnabled parameter specifies whether to allow non-delivery reports (NDRs) from your organization. Setting this parameter to $false suppresses NDRs to the remote domain. The default value is $true.

NonMimeCharacterSet

Optional

System.String

The NonMimeCharacterSet parameter specifies a character set for this remote domain. The character set that you specify is only used for non-MIME (RFC 822 text) messages that don't have their own character set specified. Setting this parameter doesn't overwrite character sets already specified in the outbound mail. For a list of valid character set names, see Supported Character Sets for Remote Domain Configuration. To remove the character set value, set the value to $null.

PreferredInternetCodePageForShiftJis

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.PreferredInternetCodePageForShiftJisEnum

The PreferredInternetCodePageForShiftJis parameter specifies the specific code page to use for Shift JIS character encoding when sending messages to this remote domain. The valid values for this parameter are:

  • 50220: Use ISO-2022-JP codepage.

  • 50221: Use ESC-2022-JP codepage.

  • 50222: Use SIO-2022-JP codepage.

RequiredCharsetCoverage

Optional

System.Int32

The RequiredCharsetCoverage parameter specifies a percentage threshold for characters in a message that must match to apply your organization’s preferred character set before switching to automatic character set detection.  For example, if you set this parameter to 60, the preferred character sets will still be used during content conversion for messages that contain characters from non-preferred character sets as long as the percentage of those characters is 40 percent or less. If the percentage of characters in a message doesn’t belong to preferred character sets, Exchange analyzes the UNICODE characters and automatically determines the best matching character set to use.

If users in this remote domain use characters that span character sets, you may want to specify a lower percentage to ensure that your organization’s preferred character set is used during content conversion.

TargetDeliveryDomain

Optional

System.Boolean

The TargetDeliveryDomain parameter specifies the e-mail domain that's used when generating target addresses for new mail users in a cross-premises deployment scenario. When you have a cross-premises deployment, the user mailboxes on the remote location are represented as mail user objects. For example, all mailboxes hosted on Exchange Online are represented as mail users in your on-premises organization. The value of this parameter is used to determine what domain should be used for the target e-mail address for these mail users.

TNEFEnabled

Optional

System.Boolean

The TNEFEnabled parameter specifies whether Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format (TNEF) message encoding is used on messages sent to the remote domain. Valid values for this parameter are $true, $false, or $null. The action associated with each value is as follows:

$true   TNEF encoding is used on all messages sent to the remote domain.

$false   TNEF encoding isn't used on any messages sent to the remote domain.

$null   TNEF encoding isn't specified for the remote domain. TNEF encoding for recipients in the remote domain may be specified by the following:

  • Value of the UseMapiRichTextFormat parameter for any mail user or mail contact objects

  • Sender's per-recipient settings in Microsoft Office Outlook

  • Sender's default Internet message settings in Outlook

The default value is $null.

TrustedMailInboundEnabled

Optional

System.Boolean

The TrustedMailInboundEnabled parameter specifies whether Exchange will treat e-mail received from this remote domain as trusted messages. If you set this parameter to $true, all incoming messages from this remote domain are considered safe and they will bypass content and recipient filtering.

We recommend that you set this parameter to $true for cross-premises deployment scenarios.

The default value is $false.

TrustedMailOutboundEnabled

Optional

System.Boolean

The TrustedMailOutboundEnabled parameter specifies whether the remote domain is considered a trusted domain. We recommend that you set this parameter to $true for cross-premises deployment scenarios.

The default value is $false.

UseSimpleDisplayName

Optional

System.Boolean

The UseSimpleDisplayName parameter specifies whether simple display names for senders appear in messages sent to this domain. Setting this parameter to $true enables simple display names for this remote domain. The default value is $false.

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.
