Accepted domains are configured on computers that have the Hub Transport server role installed and on computers that have the Edge Transport server role installed. We recommend that you configure accepted domains only on the Hub Transport server role and then populate that data on the Edge Transport server by using the Edge Subscription process. When the Edge Subscription process runs, the accepted domain configuration information is replicated to the subscribed Edge Transport server. For more information, see Subscribing the Edge Transport Server to the Exchange Organization.

Note:
Do not perform this procedure on an Edge Transport server that has been subscribed to the Exchange organization by using EdgeSync. Instead, create the accepted domain on the Hub Transport server. It will be replicated to the Edge Transport server when synchronization next occurs.

To perform the following procedures, the account you use must be delegated the Exchange Organization Administrator role.

To perform the following procedures on a computer that has the Edge Transport server role installed, you must log on by using an account that is a member of the local Administrators group on that computer.

Important:
The accepted domain cannot also exist as a remote domain.

Important:
You cannot modify the default accepted domain. To change which accepted domain is the default accepted domain, you must create a new accepted domain, and then set the new accepted domain as the default by using the Exchange Management Shell. For more information, see New-AcceptedDomain and Set-AcceptedDomain.

• Run the following command to create an authoritative domain:

  New-AcceptedDomain -Name "Fabrikam" -DomainName "Fabrikam.com" -DomainType Authoritative -domaincontroller "dc1"

1. Open the Exchange Management Console.

2. In the console tree, expand Organization Configuration, select Hub Transport, and then in the work pane, click the Accepted Domains tab.

   • Accepted Domain   Use this field to identify the SMTP namespace for the new company (Fabrikam.com) for which the Exchange organization will accept e-mail messages.
     

5. After you complete these fields on the New Accepted Domain page, select Authoritative Domain. E-mail is delivered to a recipient in this Exchange organization. to set the accepted domain type:

6. Click New.

7. On the Completion page, click Finish.

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see New-AcceptedDomain. After you configure the accepted domain, you must verify that a public Domain Name System (DNS) mail exchange (MX) resource record for that SMTP namespace exists and that the MX resource record references a server name and an IP address that is associated with the Exchange organization.

   • Users with external e-mail addresses   Select this check box if you want your e-mail address policy to apply to users with external e-mail addresses. Users with external e-mail accounts have user domain accounts in the Active Directory directory service, but use e-mail accounts that are external to the organization. This enables them to be included in the GAL (GAL) and added to distribution lists.
     
   • Resource mailboxes   Select this check box if you want your e-mail address policy to apply to Exchange resource mailboxes. Resources mailboxes allow you to administer company resources through a mailbox, such as a conference room or company vehicle.

6. On the Distribution Points page, complete the following fields:

   • Enable Web-based distribution   If this OAB will be distributed from a virtual directory, and the clients are running Office Outlook 2007, select this check box, and then click Add to add virtual directories from which to distribute the OAB.
     
   • Enable public folder distribution   If this OAB will be distributed from public folders, and the clients are running Outlook 2003 SP1 or earlier, select this check box.
     

     Note:
     If you select the Enable public folder distribution check box, and your organization does not have any public folder infrastructure, you will receive an error when you complete this wizard.

7. Click Next.

8. On the New Offline Address Book page, review your configuration settings. Click New to create the offline address book. Click Back to make configuration changes.

9. On the Completion page, confirm whether the OAB was created successfully. A status of Completed indicates that the wizard completed the task successfully. A status of Failed indicates that the task was not completed. If the task fails, review the summary for an explanation, and then click Back to make any configuration changes. Click Finish to complete the New Offline Address Book wizard.

   Note:

   The OAB will be available to clients only after it has been generated, which will occur in accordance with the schedule set. The default time for the generation is daily at 05:00. If you would like to generate the OAB before that time, you can use the Exchange Management Console or the Exchange Management Shell to update the offline address book. For more information, see How to Update the Offline Address Book. For more information about how to set the schedule time for OAB generation, see How to View and Modify Offline Address Book Settings.

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see the New-OfflineAddressBookreference topic.
