Examples

Example 1

Set-X400AuthoritativeDomain Sales -X400DomainName "C=US;A=att,P=Contoso;O=Sales and Marketing" -Name "Sales and Marketing"

This example makes the following changes to an existing X.400 authoritative domain:

  • It changes the domain name from Sales to Sales and Marketing.
  • It updates the organizational attribute to Sales and Marketing.

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.

-Identity

The Identity parameter specifies the X.400 authoritative domain that you want to modify. You can use any value that uniquely identifies the domain. For example:

  • Name
  • Distinguished name (DN)
  • GUID
