Set-PendingFederatedDomain

This cmdlet is available only in on-premises Exchange.

The Set-PendingFederatedDomain cmdlet is used by the Exchange admin center to configure pending domains with the federated organization identifier in the federation trust for the Exchange organization. You shouldn't use this cmdlet to attempt to manually configure a federation trust.

The domains being added to the federation trust must exist as accepted domains in the Exchange organization.

For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.

Description

This cmdlet allows the Exchange admin center to save domains selected as the FederatedOrganizationIdentifier or federated domains when proof of domain ownership hasn't been completed.

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

Set-PendingFederatedDomain -PendingDomains contoso.com,sales.contoso.com

This example adds the pending domains contoso.com and sales.contoso.com to the existing federation trust.

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.
