SV-95199r1_rule Exchange must have accepted domains configured.

Vulnerability discussion

Exchange may be configured to accept email for multiple domain names. This setting identifies the domains for which the server will accept mail. This check verifies the email server is not accepting email for unauthorized domains.

Check content

Review the Email Domain Security Plan (EDSP). Determine the Accepted Domain values. Open the Exchange Management Shell and enter the following command: Get-AcceptedDomain | Select Name, DomainName, Identity, Default If the value of "Default" is not set to "True", this is a finding. or If the "Default" value for "AcceptedDomains" is set to another value other than "True" and has signoff and risk acceptance in the EDSP, this is not a finding.

Fix text

Update the EDSP. Open the Exchange Management Shell and enter the following command: Set-AcceptedDomain -Identity <'IdentityName'> -MakeDefault $true Note: The value must be in single quotes.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
