5. Viewing and Managing Send Connectors
The Exchange Management tools provide access only to the Send
connectors you've explicitly created. On Hub Transport servers, Send
connectors created by Exchange Server are not displayed or
configurable. On Edge Transport servers, you can view and manage the
internal Send connector used to connect to the Hub Transport servers in
your Exchange organization.
To view the Send connectors and manage their configuration, start
the Exchange Management Console. On an Edge Transport server, select
Edge Transport, click the server you want to work with, and then click
the Send Connectors tab in the details pane. On a Hub Transport server,
expand the Organization Configuration node, select Hub Transport, and
then click the Send Connectors tab in the details pane. Send connectors
you've created are listed by name and status. You can now do the
following:
-
Change a connector's properties
To change a connector's properties, right-click the connector, and then
select Properties. Use the Properties dialog box to manage the
connector's properties. You'll also be able to specify the maximum
message size and protocol logging level. By default, the maximum
message size is set to 10,240 KB and the protocol logging level is set
to None.
-
Enable a connector To enable a connector, right-click it, and then select Enable.
-
Disable a connector To disable a connector, right-click it, and then select Disable.
-
Remove a connector To remove a connector, right-click it, and then select Remove.
In the Exchange Management Shell, you can view, update, or remove Send connectors using the Get-SendConnector, Set-SendConnector, or Remove-SendConnector cmdlets, respectively. Samples Example 6 through Example 8
provide the syntax and usage. With Get-SendConnector, if you don't
specify an identity, the cmdlet returns a list of all
administrator-configured Send connectors.
