The Microsoft® Exchange Server Analyzer Tool reads the following registry entry to determine its current value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeMTA\Parameters\Transport threads
If the Exchange Server Analyzer finds the value for Transport threads present and set to anything other than 1, a non-default configuration message is displayed.
The Transport threads value is the number of message transfer agent (MTA) Transport threads. The default value of 1 is generally sufficient for all organizations. Unless directed to do so by Microsoft Product Support Services, you should leave this value set at 1.
