Import an Edge Subscription File to an Active Directory Site

  • Artikel

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2

After you create a new Edge Subscription, the Edge Transport server referenced in the Edge Subscription file is associated with the Hub Transport servers in an Active Directory site. For more information about Edge Subscriptions, see Understanding Edge Subscriptions.

Prerequisites

  • The Active Directory site to which the Edge Transport server is subscribed must contain at least one Hub Transport server.

  • Verify that you have configured the settings on the Hub Transport server that are replicated to the Edge Transport server. For more information, see Understanding Edge Subscriptions.

  • Read the following topics:

  • Create the Edge Subscription file by running the New-EdgeSubscription cmdlet on the Edge Transport server. By running the New-EdgeSubscription cmdlet, you create an Edge Subscription file that you must copy to your Hub Transport server's hard disk.

  • Copy the Edge Subscription file from the Edge Transport server to the Hub Transport server where you will perform this procedure.

    Note

    It's a best practice to delete the Edge Subscription file from the Edge Transport server after you copy the file to the Hub Transport server where you will import the Edge Subscription file, and from the Hub Transport server after the subscription is imported.
