We recently updated our environment to Exchange 2013 SP1.. So far so good, but we have come across a problem we can't seem to figure out.  In our 2010 enviornment, we were using an edge transport server to apply various legal disclaimers to our outbound email messages (based on recipient domain).  We have since deployed a 2013 edge transport server, but can't seem to get the command together that will allow us to create these rules again.  

This is the command I'm executing:

New-TransportRule -Name 'contoso.com TLS Footer' -Enabled $True -Mode Enforce -RecipientAddressMatchesPatterns '@contoso.com$' -SentToScope NotInOrganization -ApplyHtmlDisclaimerLocation Append -ApplyHtmlDisclaimerFallbackAction Reject -ApplyHtmlDisclaimerText 'The message was protected by the contoso.com TLS Connection.' 

This is the error:

New-TransportRule : A parameter was specified that isn't valid on an Edge Transport server.
At line:1 char:1
+ New-TransportRule -Name "contoso.com tls footer" -Enabled $true -Mode Enforce -Recipien ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (SentToScope:String) [New-TransportRule], ArgumentException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : [Server=edge,RequestId=xxxxxxxx,TimeStamp=8/17/2015 7:29:31 PM] [FailureCategory=Cmdlet-ArgumentException] 7C733186,Microsoft.Exchange.MessagingPolicies.Rules.Tasks.NewTransportRule

Any thoughts here?  I've scoured the documentation for this command and can't seem to find what I'm missing.  Why is it considering the 'SentToScope' invalid?

Thanks in advance

Of course.. That was part of the initial deployment of the edge transport server.  Just for background, the edge server is outside the domain on the perimeter network, and only hosts the edge transport role.  The mailbox and client access roles are hosted inside on different mail servers.  Since I don't have a GUI for edge administration anymore, I can't create the rules without powershell (which in the long run will make this easier, but I can't even get the first one created.)

What am I looking for?

Hi,

These are properties that are available as parameters of the New-TransportRule and Set-TransportRule for Transport Rule conditions and actions on Edge Transport Servers.

So that's why that error will pop up.

Best Regards.

So... does this mean I can't create the rule I need for applying a footer on a per-domain basis?  If that's true, is there any particular reason this capability was removed?
