Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 : Working with SMTP Connectors, Sites, and Links (part 2) - Viewing and Managing Active Directory Site Link Details

2/24/2014 12:25:09 AM

3. Viewing and Managing Active Directory Site Link Details

You can use the Get-AdSiteLink cmdlet to view the configuration information about an Active Directory IP site link. This configuration information includes the value of the Exchange-specific cost, the cost assigned to the Active Directory IP site link, and a list of the sites in the IP site link.

Example 3 provides the syntax and usage, as well as sample output, for the Get-AdSiteLink cmdlet. Use the –Identity parameter to retrieve the configuration information about a specific IP site link. If you do not provide an identity, the configuration information about all IP site links is returned.

Example 3. Get-AdSiteLink cmdlet syntax and usage

Syntax

Get-AdSiteLink [-Identity 'SiteIdentity']
[-DomainController 'DCName']


Usage

Get-AdSiteLink -Identity 'PORTLANDSEATTLELINK' | fl


Output

Runspaceid :
Cost : 100
ADCost : 100
ExchangeCost :
MaxMessageSize : unlimited
Sites : {First-Seattle-Site}
AdminDisplayName :

By default, Exchange Server 2010 determines the least-cost routing path by using the cost that is assigned to the Active Directory IP site links. You can change this behavior by using the Set-AdSiteLink cmdlet to configure an Exchange-specific cost for Active Directory IP site links. After you configure it, the Exchange-specific cost is used instead of the Active Directory–assigned cost to determine the Exchange routing path.

Example 4 provides the syntax and usage, as well as sample output, for the Set-AdSiteLink cmdlet. When there are multiple wide area network (WAN) paths between sites, you can set a higher site-link cost if you want to reduce the likelihood that a link will be used. You can set a lower site-link cost if you want to increase the likelihood that a link will be used. You must have Enterprise Administrator rights to use the –Name parameter to change the name of a site link.

You can use the –MaxMessageSize parameter to set the maximum size for messages that are relayed across a specified link. The default value is "unlimited," which allows messages of any size to be relayed. You can specify the units for values using B for bytes, KB for kilobytes, MB for megabytes, or GB for gigabytes. The valid range for maximum size is from 64 KB to the largest value in bytes that can be set using a 64-bit integer (9,223,372,036,854,775,807).

Example 4. Set-AdSiteLink cmdlet syntax and usage

Syntax

Set-AdSiteLink -Identity 'SiteIdentity'
[-DomainController 'DCName']
[-ExchangeCost Cost]
[-MaxMessageSize <'Size' | 'Unlimited'>]
[-Name 'NewSiteLinkName']


Usage

Set-AdSiteLink -Identity 'PORTLANDSEATTLELINK'
-ExchangeCost 20

Set-AdSiteLink -Identity 'LASACRAMENTOLINK'
-MaxMessageSize 'Unlimited'

Set-AdSiteLink -Identity 'LASACRAMENTOLINK'
-MaxMessageSize '24MB'
