This cmdlet is available only in on-premises Exchange.

Use the New-X400AuthoritativeDomain cmdlet to create and specify the X.400 authoritative domain for the organization. The X.400 authoritative domain defines the standard fields for the namespace appended to the recipient identity for all mailboxes assigned an X.400 address.

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

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this article lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you might not have access to some parameters if they aren't 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

New-X400AuthoritativeDomain -Name Sales -X400DomainName "C=US;A=Fabrikam;P=Contoso;O=Sales"

This example creates the X.400 authoritative domain Sales in the private domain Contoso, which is under the administrative domain Fabrikam.

Example 2

New-X400AuthoritativeDomain -Name "Sales Europe" -X400DomainName "C=US;A=Fabrikam;P=Contoso;O=Sales;OU1=Europe" -X400ExternalRelay: $true

This example creates an external relay domain for the X.400 namespace Europe organizational unit (OU) under the Sales organization in the private domain Contoso, which is under the administrative domain Fabrikam.

Parameters

-Confirm

Applicable: Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019, Exchange Server SE

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.
