Re: Exchange 2k7's use of AD site links

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hub Transport uses SMTP - the AD Site Link info is used purely for building
a message routing topology.
Also note, the first attempt is always to deliver a message from a source HT
server to a HT in destination AD Site directly using SMTP.

I've seen that Exchange 2k7 hub transport server relies on AD's Site
topology
for replication. One item I see reoccuring is the IP site links used to
determine how to route the messages. However, I don't see a
clarification
on what protocol it will use.
It's clear RPC will be used for intrasite communication but does the hub
transport use RPC or SMTP between hub transport? If RPC, does that mean I
have to have all of my ports open between them or can I trim down the
ports
in the registry? And for the bonus question, if an SMTP site link is used,
does the hub transport consider it and uses that protocol?
TIA,
