Examples

Example 1

Get-TransportServer

This example provides different results depending on the server role on which it's run. When you run this command on an Edge Transport server, it provides a configuration summary for the local server. Otherwise, it displays a list of all Mailbox servers in your organization.

Example 2

Get-TransportServer Mailbox01 | Format-List

This example retrieves the detailed transport configuration information for the Transport service on the Mailbox server named Mailbox01.

Parameters

-DomainController

The DomainController parameter specifies the domain controller that's used by this cmdlet to read data from or write data to Active Directory. You identify the domain controller by its fully qualified domain name (FQDN). For example, dc01.contoso.com.

The DomainController parameter isn't supported on Edge Transport servers. An Edge Transport server uses the local instance of Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) to read and write data.
