Detailed Description
The Uninstall-TransportAgent cmdlet is used to unregister a transport agent that is no longer needed on an Edge Transport server or a Hub Transport server.
To run the Uninstall-TransportAgent cmdlet, the account you use must be delegated the following:
- Exchange Server Administrator role and local Administrators group for the target server
To run the Uninstall-TransportAgent cmdlet 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.
For more information about permissions, delegating roles, and the rights that are required to administer Exchange 2007, see Permission Considerations.
