We are running Exchange 2010 SP3. We have federation working for our primary email domain (montagehealth.org). We added a second email domain (example.org), however if a user only has the "example.org" smtp address, federation fails. If we add a "montagehealth.org" address then everything federates okay. In the federation management, I added "example.org" and the relevant TXT record a couple days ago, but federation still fails. Do we have to add the "exchangedelegation.example.org" and the TXT record to match for that subdomain?
>From this link here: >http://www.expta.com/2011/07/how-to-configure-exchange-2010-sp1.html it states >we have to run the following: "Run the following cmdlets from EMS to generate domain proof values: Get-FederatedDomainProof -DomainName exchangedelegation.companyabc.com Get-FederatedDomainProof -DomainName companyabc.com Repeat the second cmdlet for additional SMTP domains you want to federate, if any" (emphasis mine) Based on the above, I figured I only had to add "example.org" in the Federation Trust and all would federate without issue. However, I added "example.org" and added "example.org" to the Organization Relationships in the target forest I want to federate with, but it's not working. So I have a few questions: 1) Does federation only work if the user has an email address matching the initial domain that was configured? 2) If not, do I need to add "exchangedelegation..." as part of any new domain federation setup?
