I am having some difficulty creating an Edge Subscrition file in my test environment. When I go into the shell I use the following syntax: new-edgesubscription -filename "c:\edgesubscription.xml" -site "Default-First-Site-Name" The previous command results in the following error: The task cannot find the subscrition file specified by the path. I'm not sure why it's trying to find the file I am telling it to create. Any idea as to what I am doing wrong here? Why isn't there an ability to create this file in the GUI?

Please make sure you are run this cmdlet in Edge Server ! More information please reference this link http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/e2k7help/94c4a829-0ef4-4623-aeb9-b362f66f4a71.mspx

Jammy, Thanks for your response. I am running this cmdlet on the Edge server. Still no dice.

Please do not use -site parameter. Cause this parameter is used only when you run the command on a Hub Transport server and it is a required parameter when the command is run on a Hub Transport server. Another remind is before run new-egdesubscription cmdle ,make sure the Edge and HTS can resolve each other FQDN IP.

Jammy... I wasn't able to ping the edge box from the hub by fqdn as there was a bad host record in dns. I have since corrected this and now both boxes can resolve each others fqdn. After fixing this I was still getting the same error when trying to create the subscription. When I attempt to run the cmdlet without the site parameter, it asks for the site parameter. It's almost as if the edge server thinks its part of the exchange org/site. Is there anyone to check this?

PS... the server has the edge role and when I look at the org from the hub, the edge box is not listed.

Dan, The Edge Transport server role does not have access to the Active Directory directory service. All configuration and recipient information is stored in the Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) directory service. To perform recipient lookup and message security tasks, the Edge Transport server requires data that resides in Active Directory. The Edge Subscription process establishes one-way replication of recipient and configuration information from Active Directory to ADAM. The best deploy Edge server role is Install Edge server role in Windows 2003 x64 stand along server. You must assing primary DNS suffix(Same with your AD Domain name) except for the host name. In your AD domain DNS Server new A record for Edge Server Set Edge Server and Hub transport server TCP/IP DNS IP point to AD DNS Server Ping each other FQDN, and make sure can resolve the correct IP address In the Edge server export EdgeSubsscription file with run Exchange Managment Shell(EMS) New-EdgeSubscription -FileName "c:\EdgeServer.xml" copy EdgeServer.xml file to Hut transport server In Hub trantport server import edgeserver.xml file with Exchange Managment Shell(EMS) New-EdgeSubscription -FileName "c:\EdgeServer.xml" -site "Your HTS AD Site name" If show successful import message, Run Get-EdgeSubscription cmdlet to verifty Run Start-EdgeSynchronization cmdlet in HTS to Force EdgeSync Synchronization . Go back to your edge server and using EMC to verify the information are sync from your HTS.

when runninf this task inside the organazation the signt parameter is required???? This is my error message

Hi,I have similar issues.. but a little different..I have both the transport and edge on one physical server.. (just testing and lazy..)But when creating the new-edgesubscription cmd line it fails like above..is there a resolution when all is on the same server ?Thanks,Pieter

Hi, I'm also have the same issue which Pieter has. Thanks, Pushpe

Hi Try below steps: Security (Edge) Server 1. From Exchange Management Shell, enter the following command: a. New-EdgeSubscription -FileName "c:\windows\temp\EdgeSubscriptionInfo.xml" 2. Copy “c:\windows\temp\EdgeSubscriptoinInfo.xml” to the Messaging server Messaging Server 1. Open the Exchange Management Console. a. Expand Organization Configuration b. Select Hub Transport c. In the result pane, click the Edge Subscriptions tab. 2. In the action pane, click New Edge Subscription. The New Edge Subscription Wizard starts. 3. On the New Edge Subscription page, in the Active Directory Site: drop-down list, select an Active Directory site. 4. On the New Edge Subscription page, click Browse. Locate the Edge Subscription file to import. Select the file, and then click Open. 5. On the New Edge Subscription page, click New. 6. On the Completion page, click Finish. 7. Open elevated Exchange Management Shell instance and run the command: a. start-edgesynchronization (or restart the Microsoft EdgeSync service in the Services console.) for more details:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997590.aspxDinesh

I am having some difficulty creating an Edge Subscrition file in my test environment. When I go into the shell I use the following syntax: new-edgesubscription -filename "c:\edgesubscription.xml" -site "Default-First-Site-Name" The previous command results in the following error: The task cannot find the subscrition file specified by the path. I'm not sure why it's trying to find the file I am telling it to create. Any idea as to what I am doing wrong here? Why isn't there an ability to create this file in the GUI? Dear i had this error once this CMDlet is CASEsensitive also make sure the filename is the unique ,and not created before or try to make the file on another folder,drive,shared folder.... Gooodluck

hi Edge must be installed in a DMZ so LDS is involved. Do not use -site with new-edgesubscriptionMCITP Enterprise Messaging Administrator, MCITP Enterprise Administrator, MCSE, MCDBA

hi Edge must be installed in a DMZ so LDS is involved. Do not use -site with new-edgesubscription MCITP Enterprise Messaging Administrator, MCITP Enterprise Administrator, MCSE, MCDBA Sorry, both of your comments are incorrect. Edge probably should be installed in a DMZ, but this is not required. Also, the -site switch should be used, but only in step 2 as Jammy shows above. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123800(EXCHG.80).aspx Mike Crowley | MVP My Blog -- Planet Technologies
