Get-FederatedDomainProof
This cmdlet is available only in on-premises Exchange.
Use the Get-FederatedDomainProof cmdlet to generate a cryptographically secure string for the domain used for federated sharing in your Exchange organization.
For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.
Syntax
Get-FederatedDomainProof
-DomainName <SmtpDomain>
[-DomainController <Fqdn>]
[-Thumbprint <String>]
[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Get-FederatedDomainProof cmdlet generates a cryptographically secure string for the domain used for federated sharing. The resulting string is used to manually configure a text (TXT) record in the Domain Name System (DNS) zone for the domain used by the administrator when running the cmdlet. A TXT record needs to be added to DNS for all accepted domains used for federated sharing. If the thumbprint of a certificate isn't provided, the task generates strings for all the certificates currently configured for the federation trust. Upon initial configuration of federated sharing, the proof string generated for the current certificate needs to be put into the TXT record for the federated domain in DNS. We recommend you update the TXT records whenever a new certificate is configured for the federation trust.
You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.
Examples
Example 1
Get-FederatedDomainProof -DomainName "contoso.com"This example generates a cryptographically secure string for the domain contoso.com.
Example 2
Get-FederatedDomainProof -DomainName "contoso.com" -Thumbprint AC00F35CBA8359953F4126E0984B5CCAFA2F4F17This example uses a specific certificate for the domain contoso.com.
Parameters
-DomainController
The DomainController parameter specifies the domain controller that's used by this cmdlet to read data from or write data to Active Directory. You identify the domain controller by its fully qualified domain name (FQDN). For example, dc01.contoso.com.
