Use the Remove-AddressRewriteEntry cmdlet to remove an existing address rewrite entry that's no longer needed.

Syntax

remove-addressrewriteentry -Identity <AddressRewriteEntryIdParameter> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]

Detailed Description

With address rewriting in Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, you can modify the addresses of senders and recipients on messages that enter or leave an Exchange 2010 organization. You configure Address Rewriting agents on the Receive connector and Send connector on a computer that has the Edge Transport server role installed.

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 "Address Rewriting agent" entry in the Transport Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Identity

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Management.MessagingPolicies.AddressRewrite.AddressRewriteEntryIdParameter

The Identity parameter specifies the address rewrite entry to be removed. The Identity parameter accepts a GUID or the unique address rewrite name. You can omit the Identity parameter label.

Confirm

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The Confirm switch can be used to suppress the confirmation prompt that appears by default when this cmdlet is run. To suppress the confirmation prompt, use the syntax -Confirm:$False. You must include a colon ( : ) in the syntax.

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. The DomainController parameter isn't supported on the Edge Transport server role. The Edge Transport server role writes only to the Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) instance.

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.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

This example removes a specific address rewrite entry.

Copy Code
Remove-AddressRewriteEntry "Address rewrite entry for contoso.com"

EXAMPLE 2

This example removes all address rewrite entries that include contoso.com in the domain name. It accomplishes the following:

  • Retrieves all address rewrite entries.

  • Filters the result for entries that have contoso.com or its subdomains as the internal address.

  • Removes the filtered entries.

Copy Code
Get-AddressRewriteEntry | Where {$_.InternalAddress -like '*contoso.com'} | Remove-AddressRewriteEntry
