There may be situations where you may need to temporarily disable federated sharing for your organization. Instead of deleting the existing federation trust or deleting organization relationships and sharing policies that you may needed in the future, you can simply disable the organization identifier (OrgID) for the federation trust.
 Caution: |
|---|
| For hybrid deployments with Office 365, disabling the federation trust for your on-premises servers will also disable hybrid features such as shared calendar free/busy information, MailTips and message tracking. However, secure mail transport won’t be disabled in the hybrid deployment if the federation trust for the on-premises organization is disabled. |
To learn more about federation trusts, see Federation. To learn more about federated sharing, see Sharing.
For additional management tasks related to federated sharing, see Federation Procedures.
What do you need to know before you begin?
- Estimated time to complete: 5 minutes.
- You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this
procedure or procedures. To see what permissions you need, see the
Federation and certificates permissions entry in the
Exchange and
Shell Infrastructure Permissions topic.
- Any existing organization relationships and sharing policies
for other federated Exchange organizations won’t be modified and
won’t be functional. Sharing policies that are configured to
provide Internet recipients with access to calendar or contact
information won’t be affected.
- You can’t use the Exchange Administration Center (EAC) to
disable or enable the OrgID for a federation trust. You must use
the Shell.
- For information about keyboard shortcuts that may apply to the
procedures in this topic, see Keyboard Shortcuts in
the Exchange Admin Center.
