Use the Set-AdSiteLink cmdlet to assign an Exchange-specific cost to an Active Directory IP site link. You can also use this cmdlet to configure the maximum message size that can pass across an Active Directory IP site link.
Syntax

Detailed Description
By default, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 determines the least cost routing path by using the cost assigned to the Active Directory IP site link. You can use the Set-AdSiteLink cmdlet to assign an Exchange-specific cost to the Active Directory IP site link. The Exchange-specific cost is a separate attribute used instead of the Active Directory-assigned cost to determine the least cost routing path.
You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "Transport configuration" entry in the Transport Permissions topic.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Identity |
Required |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.AdSiteLinkIdParameter |
The Identity parameter specifies the name or GUID of the IP site link for which you want to set an Exchange-specific cost. |
|
Confirm |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
The Confirm switch causes the command to pause processing and requires you to acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. You don't have to specify a value with the Confirm switch. |
|
DomainController |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn |
The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory. |
|
ExchangeCost |
Optional |
System.Int32 |
The ExchangeCost parameter specifies an Exchange-specific
cost for the IP site link. This cost is used instead of the Active
Directory-assigned cost when the Hub Transport servers calculate
the least cost routing paths. To clear the value of the
ExchangeCost parameter and revert to using the cost of the
IP site link specified in Active Directory, set the
ExchangeCost parameter to |
|
MaxMessageSize |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited |
The MaxMessageSize parameter specifies the maximum size
of a message that can pass across the Active Directory IP site
link. The default value is
Unqualified values are treated as bytes. The valid input range
for this parameter is from |
|
Name |
Optional |
System.String |
The Name parameter specifies a name for the IP site link. The name that you assign overwrites the current identity of the IP site link. |
|
WhatIf |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
The WhatIf switch instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf switch, you can view what changes would occur without having to apply any of those changes. You don't have to specify a value with the WhatIf switch. |
