Scott, I plan on reading the links you've provided to educate myself but in the meantime I have run into a couple of issues. I have 4 servers in my testlab: domain controller, nodeA, nodeB, and the hub transport.
1st: My command shell doesn't recognize any of the commands.
2nd: In order for my Exch Man Console to look exactly like yours I had to install the mailbox role on the hub transport server along with the client access and hub transport roles. I loaded Outlook on my domain controller and pointed it to e2k7ccr. I went to Tools>Email Accounts in Outlook and saw it was actually pointing to my hub transport server. Isn't this a single point of failure? Thanks, Zemi
