Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

DomainName

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.SmtpDomainWithSubdomains

The DomainName parameter specifies the SMTP domain that you want to establish as a remote domain. Valid input for the DomainName parameter is an SMTP domain. You can use a wildcard character to specify all subdomains of a specified domain, as shown in the following example: *.contoso.com. However, you can't embed a wildcard character, as shown in the following example: domain.*.contoso.com. The domain name string may contain a maximum of 256 characters.

Name

Required

System.String

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

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.

The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory.
