How to add an Edge Subscription
Here are the steps you need to take, and some things to keep in mind
- Open Exchange Management Shell (as Administrator)
- New-EdgeSubscription -file C:\EdgeSubscription.xml
- Answer “Y”
- Transfer EdgeSubscription.xml to the Exchange Server
- Open Exchange Management Console
- In the left tree choose “Organization Configuration” and then “Hub Transport”
- In the Actions pane click “New Edge Subscription”
Check if everything is working:
- In the Exchange Management Console, Organization Configuration, Hub Transport, Edge Subscriptions.
Your Edge Server should be listed - Open Exchange Management Shell and run Start-EdgeSynchronization
Problems:
- “New-EdgeSubscription : The task couldn’t add the certificate to the ADAM directory service store. Error: access is denied.”
Open Exchange Management Console as Administrator - “Start-EdgeSynchronization : unable to contact EdgeSync service”
Go to Services, search for “Microsoft Exchange EdgeSync”, and click Properties
Change Startup type to Automatic and Start the service. - Firewall Issues:
I’ve installed EdgeServer together with Forefront TMG. You have to allow port 50636 from Exchange to EdgeServer - Also bare in mind that the EdgeSubscription.xml file is only valid for 24 hours or so
