Transport Rules

Use this tab to view and maintain the transport rules in your configuration. The transport rules that you configure on one Hub Transport server are applied through Active Directory to all other Hub Transport servers in the Exchange 2010 organization.

The transport rules that you configure on an Edge Transport server are applied only to e-mail messages that pass through that specific Edge Transport server.

When you select the Transport Rules tab, additional actions specific to transport rules appear in the action pane. For information about these actions, see Hub and Edge Transport > Transport Rules.

Journal Rules

Use this tab to view and maintain the journal rules in your configuration.

The Journaling agent is a compliance-focused agent that you can configure to journal e-mail messages that are sent or received in the Exchange 2010 organization. A journal rule can be applied to all e-mail, or scoped to apply to just internal or external e-mail.

When you select the Journal Rules tab, additional actions specific to journaling appear in the action pane. For information about these actions, see Organization Configuration > Hub Transport > Journal Rules.

Send Connectors

Use this tab to view and maintain the Send connectors in your configuration. There are no Send connectors created by default.

In Exchange 2010, Send connectors create a logical connection to remote mail systems.

When you select the Send Connectors tab, additional actions specific to Send connectors appear in the action pane. For information about these actions, see Organization Configuration > Hub Transport > Send Connectors.

Edge Subscriptions

Use this tab to manage the Edge Subscriptions that allow for replication of configuration data from Active Directory to the local Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) instance on the Edge Transport server. If you install more than one Edge Transport server, each server requires a separate Edge Subscription file.

When you select the Edge Subscriptions tab, additional actions specific to Edge Subscriptions appear in the action pane. For information about these actions, see Organization Configuration > Hub Transport > Edge Subscriptions.

Global Settings

Use this tab to manage the global settings that apply to all Hub Transport servers in your organization.

When you select the Global Settings tab, additional actions specific to global settings appear in the action pane. For information about these actions, see Organization Configuration > Hub Transport > Global Settings > Transport Settings.
