EXOOutboundConnector¶

Parameters¶

Parameter	Attribute	DataType	Description	Allowed Values
Identity	Key	String	The Identity parameter specifies the outbound connector that you want to modify.
Enabled	Write	Boolean	Specifies whether connector is enabled.
UseMXRecord	Write	Boolean	Specifies whether connector should use MXRecords for target resolution.
Comment	Write	String	The Comment parameter specifies an optional comment.
ConnectorSource	Write	String	The ConnectorSource parameter specifies how the connector is created. DO NOT CHANGE THIS!	`Default`, `Migrated`, `HybridWizard`
ConnectorType	Write	String	The ConnectorType parameter specifies a category for the domains that are serviced by the connector.	`Partner`, `OnPremises`
RecipientDomains	Write	StringArray[]	The RecipientDomains parameter specifies the domain that the Outbound connector routes mail to. You can specify multiple domains separated by commas.
SmartHosts	Write	StringArray[]	The SmartHosts parameter specifies the smart hosts the Outbound connector uses to route mail. This parameter is required if you set the UseMxRecord parameter to $false and must be specified on the same command line.
TlsDomain	Write	String	The TlsDomain parameter specifies the domain name that the Outbound connector uses to verify the FQDN of the target certificate when establishing a TLS secured connection. This parameter is only used if the TlsSettings parameter is set to DomainValidation. Valid input for the TlsDomain parameter is an SMTP domain. You can use a wildcard character to specify all subdomains of a specified domain, as shown in the following example: .contoso.com. However, you can't embed a wildcard character, as shown in the following example: domain..contoso.com
TlsSettings	Write	String	The TlsSettings parameter specifies the TLS authentication level that's used for outbound TLS connections established by this Outbound connector.	`EncryptionOnly`, `CertificateValidation`, `DomainValidation`
IsTransportRuleScoped	Write	Boolean	The IsTransportRuleScoped parameter specifies whether the Outbound connector is associated with a transport rule (also known as a mail flow rule).
RouteAllMessagesViaOnPremises	Write	Boolean	The RouteAllMessagesViaOnPremises parameter specifies that all messages serviced by this connector are first routed through the on-premises messaging system (Centralized mailrouting).
CloudServicesMailEnabled	Write	Boolean	The CloudServicesMailEnabled parameter specifies whether the connector is used for hybrid mail flow between an on-premises Exchange environment and Microsoft Office 365. Specifically, this parameter controls how certain internal X-MS-Exchange-Organization-* message headers are handled in messages that are sent between accepted domains in the on-premises and cloud organizations. These headers are collectively known as cross-premises headers. DO NOT USE MANUALLY!
AllAcceptedDomains	Write	Boolean	The AllAcceptedDomains parameter specifies whether the Outbound connector is used in hybrid organizations where message recipients are in accepted domains of the cloud-based organization.
SenderRewritingEnabled	Write	Boolean	The SenderRewritingEnabled parameter specifies that all messages that normally qualify for SRS rewriting are rewritten for routing through the on-premises email system.
TestMode	Write	Boolean	The TestMode parameter specifies whether you want to enabled or disable test mode for the Outbound connector.
ValidationRecipients	Write	StringArray[]	The ValidationRecipients parameter specifies the email addresses of the validation recipients for the Outbound connector. You can specify multiple email addresses separated by commas.
Ensure	Write	String	Specifies if this Outbound connector should exist.	`Present`, `Absent`
Credential	Write	PSCredential	Credentials of the Exchange Global Admin
ApplicationId	Write	String	Id of the Azure Active Directory application to authenticate with.
TenantId	Write	String	Id of the Azure Active Directory tenant used for authentication.
CertificateThumbprint	Write	String	Thumbprint of the Azure Active Directory application's authentication certificate to use for authentication.
CertificatePassword	Write	PSCredential	Username can be made up to anything but password will be used for CertificatePassword
CertificatePath	Write	String	Path to certificate used in service principal usually a PFX file.
ManagedIdentity	Write	Boolean	Managed ID being used for authentication.
AccessTokens	Write	StringArray[]	Access token used for authentication.

Examples¶

Example 1¶

This example is used to test new resources and showcase the usage of new resources being worked on. It is not meant to use as a production baseline.

Configuration Example
{
    param
    (
        [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
        [PSCredential]
        $Credscredential
    )
    Import-DscResource -ModuleName Microsoft365DSC

    node localhost
    {
        EXOOutboundConnector 'ConfigureOutboundConnector'
        {
            Identity                      = "Contoso Outbound Connector"
