hi all, i need some advices from u: i have a server with MB, HB, CAS roles and want to deploy Edge server which is located in DMZ, we have only one firewall in our org. my question is, after deploying Edge subscriptions with the HUB; is there any requirment to set send connectors or recieve connectors? we are using ADSL with static IP address and the Edge server will be vartulaized (windows 2008 R2 and enabling Hyper-v Role) 1. i need to know the best practise? 2. the ports required to do that? 3. do i need to configure send connector or the New-edgesubscriptions will do that automatically?

Hi Have you read through the kb's on Edge role? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124701.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123492.aspx Also.. here's a good article on Edge, but it's for 2007 I think most of the details are same http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/exchange-server-2007/planning-architecture/uncovering-exchange-2007-edge-transport-server-part1.html Jonas Andersson MCTS: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007/2010 | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010 | MCSE/MCSA Blog: http://www.testlabs.se/blog
