I accidentally deleted all my receive connectors and I'm new to Exchange 2013.  Can someone please post up the configuration of the ones created by default on a MB/CAS box?  Thank you so much in advanced!

Hi
1.  Open the EAC ->mail flow

2.   Mail Flow -> Accepted Domains, and click on the + symbol.

3. In the new accepted domain wizard enter the name for the accepted domain and in the Accepted domain field, specify the SMTP recipient domain you wish to add.

4. Select Authoritative domain and click Save

Hi,
Here's you have some of the settings configured on the default receive connectors created during setup. (Single Server with both roles). This should help you configured the most important settings at least.

I did sorta the same thing.  But I wiped out the 'all ipv4' and 'all ipv6' addresses.  The EAC then wipes out the port numbers and gives you back port 25 for everything when you add individual IP addresses.

I figured out:

Client Proxy is on 465.

Default hub transport is 2525

Outbound proxy frontend is 717

But I don't know what the Default Frontend or Client Front End under receive connectors were.

Any help out there for that info?

Thanks,

Here are the bindings for the two you were missing:

Name     : Default Frontend SERVERNAME
Bindings : {[::]:25, 0.0.0.0:25}

Name     : Client Frontend SERVERNAME
Bindings : {[::]:587, 0.0.0.0:587}

Hi Martina

Can you take the same export the 'Bindings' argument add's please ?

Thank's

Alex

I keep finding this post when searching Exchange 2013 receive connectors -- I felt it didn't have enough information. To test, i deleted all my send connectors (on a dev server) and recreated with this powershell script.

$range = "::-ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff","0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255"

Hi David,

Did you mean you deleted your receive connectors?

"To test, i deleted all my send connectors (on a dev server) and recreated with this powershell script. "

Also in your script   $server= $_.Name

Do I fill in the name of the server there?

Thank you in advance

Markus, great script ! Thanks for that. However comparing Installation defaults using WinMerge

I discovered a number of missing settings between a Reference Install of Exch2K13 cu8 and your script. (IPv6 binding, EnableAuthGSSAPI, DomainSecureEnabled ,.. were missing)

I made some additions to match the complete Exchange Default install Connector settings:

Before re-creating Default Receive Connectors, you might want to dump the current settings first to compare them after with WinMerge

Why 5 files? Because Get-ReceiveConnector | fl > file will sort the results randomly making a DiffCompare much harder :-)
