Description

You must configure a federated organization identifier to create an account namespace for your Exchange organization with the Microsoft Federation Gateway and enable federation for the purpose of sharing calendars or contacts, accessing free/busy information across Exchange organizations and securing cross-premises email delivery using federated delivery. When you create a federation trust, a value for the AccountNamespace parameter is automatically created with the Microsoft Federation Gateway. The AccountNamespace parameter is a combination of a pre-defined string and the domain specified. For example, if you specify the federated domain contoso.com as the domain, "FYDIBOHF25SPDLT.contoso.com" is automatically created as the value for the AccountNamespace parameter. You can add and remove Additional domain names later by using the Add-FederatedDomain and Remove-FederatedDomain cmdlets.

You can temporarily disable federation by disabling the organization identifier.

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-FederatedOrganizationIdentifier -DelegationFederationTrust "Microsoft Federation Gateway" -AccountNamespace "Contoso.com" -Enabled $true

This example configures a federated organization identifier for the Exchange organization.

Example 2

Set-FederatedOrganizationIdentifier -Enabled $false

This example temporarily disables federation for the Exchange organization.

Example 3

Set-FederatedOrganizationIdentifier -Enabled $true

This example enables the organization identifier. This enables federation for the Exchange organization.

Parameters

-AccountNamespace

The AccountNamespace parameter specifies the federated domain to be used to establish the organization identifier with the Microsoft Federation Gateway.

Type:SmtpDomain
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019, Exchange Online, Exchange Online Protection

-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.

If the DefaultDomain parameter isn't set, the primary SMTP domain for each user account is used in delegation tokens issued by the Microsoft Federation Gateway. Only a single domain or subdomain for the Exchange organization should be configured, and it applies to all delegation tokens issued for the Exchange organization, for example, contoso.com.
