Chapter 11: Exchange Server 2007 Routing
317
Before enabling a site as a Hub site, check the routing log to see the least cost routing path from the cur-
rent Active Directory site to any remote Active Directory site. Hub sites are used only if they are part of
the least cost route. To enable an Active Directory site as a Hub site, use the
Set-ADSite cmdlet. The
syntax for
Set-ADSite is:
Set-AdSite -Identity < AdSiteIdParameter > [-Confirm [ < SwitchParameter > ]]
[-DomainController < Fqdn > ] [-HubSiteEnabled < $true | $false > ] [-Name
< String > ] [-WhatIf [ < SwitchParameter > ]]
Set-AdSite [-Confirm [ < SwitchParameter > ]] [-DomainController < Fqdn > ]
[-HubSiteEnabled < $true | $false > ] [-Instance < ADSite > ] [-Name < String > ]
[-WhatIf [ < SwitchParameter > ]]
This example sets the Chicago site as a Hub site:
Set-ADSite -Identity “Chicago” -HubSiteEnabled:$true
Coexistence with Exchange 2003
How does message routing occur when Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 coexists in the same Exchange
organization with Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange 2000 Server computers? When a large organization
is transitioning from Exchange 2003 to Exchange Server 2007, a period of coexistence between the
versions is likely. All of the information for Exchange 2003 applies to Exchange 2000.
