RE: edge transport implementation lab/live combination environment

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi
if you have a little or no experience with Exchange 2007 routing I would
recommend you do your tests in a test environment.

Costs at connectors are set using the following powershell cmdlet:

set-sendconnector
-id <ConnectorID>
-addressspaces <AddressSpaceType>:<AddressSpace>;<ConnectorCost>

If you don't use any values Exchange uses "smtp=*" together with costs of
"1" as default.

Henry,

First of all, thanks so much for the answer. It gives me a good starting
place to find reference material.

The environment is a single site, which actually is still the
default-first-site-name.

Even though eventually I want to replace the hub transport send connector
smtp=* with a send connector limited to the edge transport server and have
the edge transport server's send connector set to smtp=* address space, right
now I am only concerned with getting a working test environment.

Also, how do I define costs on the send connectors? I'm assuming that's a
powershell-only type of configuration change?

Finally, is it even worth my time to try and configure this on a live
hub/cas/mailbox server? Or would I be better off just installing a 32-bit
hub/case/mailbox for my test domain instead of trying to combine live and
test environments?

The domains are public, not windows domains.

Hi
the answer depends on your Edge-Subscription setup
whether you create inbound and / or outbound connectors
and
it depends on costs at the connectors because you allready have
send-connectors for "smtp=*" address space.

it does not depend on windows domains. but it depends on windows sites

I have an existing SMTP gateway that delivers mail to a hub transport server.
The receive connector is setup on the hub transport and works fine. This is
for domain 1.

I have an Edge Transport server that I want to deliver to domain 2 for
testing. It is already configured in the DMZ with proper port assignments
and IP configuration and public DNS settings, and has been run through the
SCW.

I have a Hub Transport server with Send connectors configured for all
outgoing email.

After I complete testing and spam configuration on domain 2, I plan to
replace the existing SMTP gateway with the edge transport server on domain 1.
(which is the whole reason I'm doing this.)

If I subscribe the Edge and Hub transports together to test domain 2, will I
screw up the live environment of domain 1 in any way on the hub transport
side?
