Objective 4.4: Configure message routing.
You should be aware that you can configure an Edge Transport server or an Internet-facing Hub Transport server to use a list of specified DNS servers for external DNS lookups—instead of the DNS servers configured on the adapters installed on that server—by using the ExternalDNSAdapterEnabled and ExternalDNSServers parameters of the ______ cmdlet.
Set-TransportServer
You can use the InternalDNSAdapterEnabled and InternalDNS Servers parameters with the Set-TransportServer cmdlet to use a list of specified DNS servers for internal DNS lookups on a Hub Transport server. For example, the following command configures the Hub Transport server VAN-HUB01 to use a list of specified DNS servers for internal DNS lookups instead of the DNS servers configured on the adapters installed on that server: ______.
Set-TransportServer VAN-HUB01 -InternalDNSAdapterEnabled $false InternalDNSServers {192.168.10.1, 192.168.10.2}
A Hub Transport server running Exchange Server 2010 SP1 uses DNS to determine site ______ associations.
membership
To reduce the overhead associated with DNS queries, Exchange 2010 adds the msExchServerSite attribute to the Active Directory ______. The value of this attribute is the distinguished name of the Active Directory site of the Exchange server. Exchange 2010 uses the Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology service to retrieve configuration and recipient data from Active Directory.
A Send connector can be configured to use DNS Mail Exchange (MX) resource records to route mail automatically. In this configuration, the DNS client on the source server must be able to resolve public DNS records. In this case, the Send connector uses the external DNS list that you specify by using the ExternalDNSServers parameter. For example, the following two commands specify an external DNS list and configure Send Connector01 to use this list: ______.
Set-TransportServer –Identity VAN-EX1 –ExternalDNSServers 192.168.30.2,10.10.50.10
Set-SendConnector –Identity SendConnector01 –UseExternalDNSServersEnabled $true
The ______ in a Hub Transport server determines what to do with each message based on recipient information in the message header. It expands distribution lists, identifies alternative recipients, processes recipient forwarding addresses, applies policies, routes messages, and converts content.
Categorizer
After a message is received by an Exchange 2010 Hub Transport or Edge Transport server, it undergoes preliminary processing and is delivered to the submission queue. Messages then move from the submission queue through the ______.
Categorizer
When they have been categorized, messages are queued in delivery queues. If a route to a recipient cannot be found, the messages are queued in the ______ queue, not the submission queue. For example, if you want to resubmit messages queued on the server EX-03 after a routing problem has been solved, you would issue the following EMS command: ______.
unreachable,
Retry-Queue -Identity “EX-03\Unreachable” -Resubmit $true
Exchange 2010 accesses configuration information stored in AD DS to make routing decisions on a Hub Transport server. However, on an Edge Transport server, configuration information is stored in and accessed from ______ on the local server.
AD LDS
A Hub Transport server can relay messages directly to hosts on the Internet. If your organization does not use an Edge Transport server, you can configure the ______ server to be Internet-facing. You can enable ______ agents on a Hub Transport server and deploy antivirus protection.
Hub Transport,
anti-spam
A ______ object represents a set of sites that can communicate at a uniform cost through a specified intersite transport.
site-link
Site links do not necessarily correspond to the ______ paths that network packets follow on the physical network, but the cost that you assign to a site link typically relates to the reliability, speed, and available bandwidth of the underlying network—for example, a high-speed network connection would be assigned a lower cost than a slower connection.
actual
You can configure a site link to use either IP or ______. An ______ site link provides a store and forward mechanism for replication between Active Directory sites that do not have a reliable network link.
SMTP,
SMTP
All types of data can be replicated across an ______ site link, and Exchange 2010 uses IP site links to determine its routing topology. The routing component of Exchange 2010 takes into account the cost assigned to an IP site link when calculating a routing ______.
IP,
table
Exchange 2010 always attempts to deliver messages directly to the destination Hub Transport server, but otherwise uses site links when determining the ______ path. The default cost for a site link is ______.
least-cost,
100
You can assign Exchange costs by using the EMS ______ cmdlet. For example, the following command sets an Exchange cost of 900 on the IP site link LINK0304: ______.
Note that Exchange site link costs do not alter the link costs for other traffic, such as Active Directory replication.
Set-AdSiteLink,
Set-AdSiteLink -Identity LINK0304 -ExchangeCost 900
If a hub site exists along the least-cost routing path for message delivery, the messages queue is processed by the Hub Transport servers in the hub site before messages are relayed to their ultimate destination. You can use this feature to ensure that all message delivery is relayed through a particular Active Directory site by designating it as a hub site. For example, the following command designates the Active Directory site MyADSite as a hub site: ______.
Set-AdSite -Identity MyADSite -HubSiteEnabled $true
You should be aware that explicit Send connectors are ______ by default when the Hub Transport or Edge Transport server role is installed.
created
However, implicit and invisible Send connectors are automatically ______ based on the site topology and are used to route messages internally between Hub Transport servers.
computed
You should know that Foreign connectors are used to send messages to ______ servers that do not use SMTP—for example, third-party FAX gateway servers.
gateway
You should be aware that the Receive connectors you require on a Hub Transport server for internal mail flow are automatically ______ when the Hub Transport server role is installed. A Receive connector that can receive email from the Internet is ______ created when the Edge Transport server role is installed.
created,
automatically
If your organization has an Internet-facing Hub Transport server, you need to manually configure ______ connectors.
Send
End-to-end mail flow requires that Edge Transport servers are subscribed to the Active Directory site by using the Edge ______ process. If your organization has an Internet-facing Hub Transport server or an unsubscribed Edge Transport server, you need to manually configure ______ connectors to establish end-to-end mail flow.
subscription,
Send
The usage ______ (Custom, Internal, Internet, or Partner) determines the default permissions that are assigned on the connector and grants those permissions to trusted security principals.
type
You can use the ______ Wizard in the EMC or the EMS ______ cmdlet to create a Send connector. When you use the EMC, you need to specify a usage type for the connector. When you use the EMS, the default usage type is set to Custom.
New Send Connector,
New-SendConnector
Send connector permissions determine the types of ______ information that can be sent with the email message.
header
You can use the EMS ______ (not the Set-SendConnector) cmdlet to modify the default permissions for a Send connector. You can, however, use the ______ cmdlet to limit the scope of any Send connector so that it is usable only by other Hub Transport servers in the same Active Directory site. You can also use this cmdlet to configure whether the connector delivers email by using DNS address resolution or by routing messages to a smart host, the maximum message size, and the connection inactivity time-out.
Add-ADPermission,
Set-SendConnector
If you select the internal usage type for a Send connector, you must route mail through a ______ host. This host handles delivery to the next hop in the delivery destination.
smart,
You can use an IP address or the FQDN of the smart host to specify the smart host identity. Smart hosts can be used with any usage type but are ______ for the Internal type. The following EMS command creates a Send connector named Contoso that transmits messages through a smart host named smarthost.contoso.com to Contoso’s mail domain mail.contoso.com: ______.
mandatory,
New-SendConnector –Internet –Name Contoso –Addresspaces smtp:mail.contoso.com –Smarthosts smarthost.contoso.com
You can use the ______ or the Set-SendConnector cmdlets with the ConnectionInactivityTimeOut parameter to create or configure a Send connector that specifies the maximum time that an idle connection can remain open. For example, the following command configures the send connector SendConnector01 with a maximum message size of 5 MB and a maximum time for which an idle connection can remain open of 20 minutes: ______.
New-SendConnector,
Set-SendConnector –Identity SendConnector01 -MaxMessageSize 5MB -ConnectionInactivityTimeOut 00:20:00
The address space for a Foreign connector specifies the recipient ______ to which this connector routes email.
domains
You can specify either SMTP address spaces or non-SMTP address spaces. You can use the scope of a Foreign connector to control the ______ of that connector within your Exchange organization.
