Set-X400AuthoritativeDomain

Module:
Exchange PowerShell

This cmdlet is available only in on-premises Exchange.

Use the Set-X400AuthoritativeDomain cmdlet to edit an existing X.400 authoritative domain for your 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.

Syntax

Default (Default)

Description

X.400 domain names can include only the following ASCII characters:

  • A to Z

  • These punctuation marks and special characters: (space) ' () + , - . / : = ?

You can use the following X.400 attributes (1 each per address):

  • Maximum character length: 32

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

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

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.

The DomainController parameter isn't supported on Edge Transport servers. An Edge Transport server uses the local instance of Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) to read and write data.
