Exchange receive connectors add IP addresses

  By Remigiusz Szatkowski | 29/05/2013 - 01:52 | ,
Leave a comment

When we need to add IP address to existing Receive Connector we can add it using Exchange Management Console in Server Configuration, Hub Transport.

This solution is fast when you need to add few IP addresses.
But if you need to add many IP addresses then better option is to use Exchange Management Console and Powershell

 

To get list of Receive Connectors we can run command:

Get-ReceiveConnector

We will get list of all Receive Connectors available on all HUB Transport Exchange Servers.

If we want to list Receive Connectors available on specified server then we need to add parameter -server like below:

Get-ReceiveConnector -server ServerName

 

Now we have list of Receive Connectors, we need to check Identity from this list to use it to get list of all IP addresses assigned to Receive Connector.

Run following command to get all IP addresses from Receive Connector:

(Get-ReceiveConnector -identity "servername\receiveconnector_name").RemoteIPRanges

Exchange Team Blog,placed entry with quite extensive information about requirements for Microsoft Exchange 2013 on the amount of space, CPU, RAM, and other information needed to plan the implementation of Exchange 2013 environment.

This information has been compiled from a number of implementation and testing of Exchange 2013. Nevertheless, it is still not an official Microsoft document setting out the requirements for Exchange 2013 on the issues of hardware, disk space and other.

This is official release of Exchange Team guidance.

All information came from internal deployments of Exchange 2013, as well as from customer feedback.

You will see further updates to our sizing and capacity planning guidance in two forms: changes to the numbers mentioned in this document, as well as further guidance on specific areas not covered here.

Exchange Team ask you to let them know if you find something what is missing in this “document” and should be.
