Remove-FederatedDomain

This cmdlet is available only in on-premises Exchange.

Use the Remove-FederatedDomain cmdlet to remove a federated domain from the federated organization identifier in the federation trust for the Exchange organization.

If you remove a domain configured for federated sharing, federated sharing for that domain is disabled.

For more information, see Federation.

Description

An Exchange organization's federated organization identifier is generally created using the organization's primary domain name. Additional domain names can be added and removed. The Remove-FederatedDomain cmdlet removes a federated domain from the federated organization identifier.

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

Remove-FederatedDomain -DomainName contoso.co.uk

This example removes the federated domain contoso.co.uk from the federated organization identifier.

Parameters

-Confirm

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

  • Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
  • Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.
