The Microsoft® Exchange Server Analyzer Tool reads the following registry entry to determine its current value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeMTA\Parameters\TCP/IP threads
If the Exchange Server Analyzer finds the value for TCP/IP threads present and set to anything other than 2, a non-default configuration message is displayed.
The TCP/IP threads value is the maximum number of message
transfer agent (MTA) dynamic address module (DMOD) threads that
handle RFC1006 connections. This number is multiplied by two for
the two subtypes (Driver and Async
Notify) of RFC1006 threads. On X.400 directory replication
bridgehead servers and dedicated public folder servers that handle
a large number of connections, it is recommended that this value be
modified from its default of 2 to a value of 10.
