Set-RemoteDomain (RTM)

  • Article

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 will reach end of support on April 11, 2017. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2007

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

Before you configure a remote domain by using the Set-RemoteDomain cmdlet, you must create a remote domain by using the New-RemoteDomain cmdlet in the Exchange Management Shell or by using the Exchange Management Console. For more information, see the following topics:

Detailed Description

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

  • Exchange Server Administrator role and local Administrators group for the target server

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

Parameters

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.RemoteDomainIdParameter

Use this parameter to specify the display name of the remote domain.

The length of the name cannot exceed 64 characters.

AllowedOOFType

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.AllowedOOFType

Use this parameter to specify the type of Out of Office (OOF) notification that is returned to users at the remote domain. Valid values are External, ExternalLegacy, None, and InternalLegacy. The default value is External.

AutoForwardEnabled

Optional

Setting this parameter will not overwrite character sets are 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 it to "null"), set the value as follows: -CharacterSet $null

ContentType

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.ContentType

Use this parameter to define the outbound message content type and formatting. Valid values for this parameter are MimeHtmlText, MimeText, 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, outbound message will be a MIME message that uses text formatting.

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

The default value is MimeHtmlText.

Use this parameter to specify the line-wrap size for outbound messages. The parameter takes an integer between 0 and 132, or you can overload the parameter by setting the value to unlimited. The default value is unlimited.

MeetingForwardNotificationEnabled

Optional

System.Boolean

Use this parameter to enable or disable meeting forward notifications. When this parameter is enabled, meeting requests that are forwarded to recipients in the remote domain generate a meeting forward notification to the meeting organizer. When this parameter is disabled, meeting requests that are forwarded to recipients in the remote domain will not generate a meeting forward notification to the meeting organizer.

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

Name

The following code example performs the following actions:

  • It disables out-of-office notifications to the remote domain.

  • It suppresses delivery reports that are sent from clients in your organization to the remote domain.

  • It enables TNEF message data on messages that are sent to the remote domain.

Set-RemoteDomain -Identity Contoso -AllowedOOFType None -DeliveryReportEnabled $false -TNEFEnabled $true
