# Creating a Remote Domain for the On-Premises Exchange Server

Create a remote domain so that the journaled messages can be sent to the ContentStore Mail Server (SMTP).

The domain name must be a non-existent domain. You must use the same domain for the remote domain, the mail contact, the Send connector, and the journal rules.

For more information about remote domains, see the article on the Microsoft TechNet site that corresponds with your version of Exchange. For example, for Exchange 2013, see "Remote domains", https://technet.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/aa996309(v=exchg.150).aspx.

## Procedure

In this example, you create a remote domain using Exchange Management Shell for the DomainName domain.com.

1. Start Exchange Management Shell.

2. To create a new remote domain, type the following command:

       New-RemoteDomain -DomainName domain.com -Name domain

## What to Do Next

On the Exchange server, create the mail contact.
