Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 : Creating and Managing Remote Domains (part 1) - Viewing Remote Domains

Remote domain settings help you manage mail flow for most types of automated messages, including out-of-office messages, automatic replies, automatic forwarding, delivery reports, and nondelivery reports. Remote domain settings also control some automated message-formatting options, such as whether to display a sender's name on a message or only the sender's e-mail address. Your Exchange organization has a default remote domain policy that sets the global defaults. You can create additional policies to create managed connections for specific remote domains as well.

Viewing Remote Domains

You can view the remote domains configured for your organization by completing the following steps:

1. In the Exchange Management Console, expand the Organization Configuration node, and then select the Hub Transport node.

2. On the Remote Domains tab, shown in Figure 1, remote domains are listed by name and the domain to which they apply. The Default remote domain applies to all remote domains, unless you override it with specific settings.

Figure 1. View remote domains.

You can use the Get-RemoteDomain cmdlet to list remote domains or to get information on a particular remote domain. If you do not provide an identity with this cmdlet, configuration information for all remote domains is displayed. Example 1 provides the syntax and usage, as well as sample output, for the Get-RemoteDomain cmdlet.
