Question

A corporate environment includes Exchange Server 2010. The Exchange Server environment includes two Edge Transport servers and two Hub Transport servers. The Edge Transport servers process Safe Sender List information from Exchange users and have multiple IP Allow list entries. An edge subscription is in place between the Edge Transport servers and the Hub Transport servers. You need to recommend a solution for configuring a replacement Edge Transport server. You have the following requirements:

  • Recover all the send connector, receive connector, and accepted

domains settings.

  • Recover all the IP Allow list entries.
  • Continue to process Safe Sender List information.

What should you recommend?

Explanation

Cloned configuration doesn't duplicate the Edge Subscription settings of a server. The certificates used by the Microsoft Exchange EdgeSync service aren't cloned. You must run the EdgeSync process separately for each Edge Transport server. The Microsoft Exchange EdgeSync service overwrites any settings included in both cloned configuration information and in EdgeSync replication information. Edge Subscriptions are used to populate the Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) instance on the Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Edge Transport server role with Active Directory data. Each Hub Transport server in the Active Directory site receives notification from Active Directory that a new Edge Transport server has been subscribed. Send connectors are automatically created to relay messages outbound from the Edge Transport server to the Internet, and inbound from the Edge Transport server to the Exchange organization. The EdgeSync synchronization schedule is established. You can also use the Start- EdgeSynchronization cmdlet in the Shell to override the EdgeSync synchronization schedule and immediately start synchronization. You use cloned configuration to deploy new Edge Transport servers based on a configured source server. Just run the ExportEdgeConfig.ps1 script to export the source server's configuration information to an intermediate XML file.
