Configure federated sharing between two Outlook Live tenant organizations

The Outlook Live infrastructure is already federated with Microsoft Federation Gateway. All you need to do to enable federated sharing is create a new organizational relationship with another Outlook Live domain.



Before you begin



Federated sharing uses the autodiscover information in your domain to configure the federated relationship. You must make sure that both your organization and the partner organization have the CNAME autodiscover record configured in DNS. See Use a CNAME Record to Enable Outlook 2007 to Connect to Outlook Live.



Use Windows PowerShell to configure federated sharing in Outlook Live.



1. Connect Windows PowerShell to Outlook Live.



2. Run the following command to enable free/busy sharing between two Outlook Live organizations:



Get-FederationInformation –DomainName <the other tenant domain> | New-OrganizationRelationship -Name <the other tenant domain> -FreeBusyAccessEnabled $true -FreeBusyAccessLevel LimitedDetails



Here's an example of what the command would look like in the Contoso scenario, where the administrator for the Contoso organization configures a federated sharing partnership with Fabrikam College:



Get-FederationInformation –DomainName fabrikam.edu | New-OrganizationRelationship -Name Fabrikam -Domainnames Fabrikam.edu -FreeBusyAccessEnabled $true -FreeBusyAccessLevel LimitedDetails

Georgia on my mind

Texas was not deep enough in the south for me so I relocated to Albany, Georgia. I have been her almost a month and the adventure of living in a new city and working at a new institution are still fresh. This week week as I walked across the campus with my paper notebook in hand I was whistling as I passed through groups of students go to classes. I noticed how everyone of them was either talking on a mobile device or listening to music on them. I marveled at how odd I must seem to them as I walked without having any electronic device turned on and instead i was making the music with my lips. Albany Georgia is a lot like Portland, only smaller and really flat. Albany has the Flint River running through the middle of the downtown area and lots of pine and pecan trees all over.
