This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Shell to view an existing address rewrite entry on a computer that has the Edge Transport server role installed.

In Exchange Server 2007, the Address Rewriting agent lets you modify the addresses of senders and recipients on messages that enter and leave an Exchange Server 2007 organization.

You can use address rewriting to present a consistent appearance to external recipients of messages from your Exchange Server 2007 organization. You configure Address Rewriting agents on the Receive connector and Send connector on the Edge Transport server role.

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.
