Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 will reach end of support on April 11, 2017. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.

Applies to: Exchange Server 2007, Exchange Server 2007 SP1, Exchange Server 2007 SP2, Exchange Server 2007 SP3

This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Shell to create a new address rewrite entry that rewrites all e-mail messages that are sent from multiple sub-domains on a computer that has the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Edge Transport server role installed. You can create the following types of address rewrite entries when you rewrite multiple sub-domains:

Address rewrite entries that affect all your sub-domains
Address rewrite entries that affect only specific sub-domains
Address rewrite entries that affect all sub-domains except those sub-domains that you identify as exceptions

Note

You cannot administer the Address Rewriting agent by using the Exchange Management Console. To administer the Address Rewriting agent, you must use the Exchange Management Shell. For more information about how to use the Exchange Management Shell, see Using the Exchange Management Shell.

For more information about address rewriting, see Planning for Address Rewriting.

Before You Begin

To perform the following procedures on a computer that has the Edge Transport server role installed, you must log on by using an account that is a member of the local Administrators group on that computer.

Also, before you perform these procedures, read How to Create a New Address Rewrite Entry.

Warning

You must prepare your sub-domains before you create an address rewrite entry that rewrites multiple domains. For more information, see Preparing to Rewrite Addresses in Multiple Domains.

The New-AddressRewriteEntry cmdlet includes the TemplateInstance parameter. The TemplateInstance parameter lets you copy the configuration of one address rewrite entry to another address rewrite entry. The properties that are available for copying on address rewrite entries are the OutboundOnly property and the ExceptionList property. For more information about how to use an existing address rewrite entry as a template, see Templates.
