Use the Edge Subscriptions tab to manage the subscriptions that enable replication of configuration data from Active Directory to the local Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) instance on the computer that has the Edge Transport server role installed. If you install more than one Edge Transport server, you must configure a separate Edge Subscription for each server.

You must import an Edge Subscription file before the Edge Transport server appears in the Edge Subscriptions list. For detailed steps, see Import an Edge Subscription File to an Active Directory Site.

When you import an Edge Subscription file, that Edge Transport server is then associated with the Hub Transport servers in that site. This association is used to configure the Send connectors that enable mail flow to and from the Internet.

The following specific action is available when you select an Edge Subscription:

Remove

To remove an Edge Subscription, select the Edge Subscription that you want to remove, and then click Remove. You must remove the Edge Subscription from both the Hub Transport server and the Edge Transport server. Use the Remove-EdgeSubscription cmdlet to remove the Edge Subscription from the Edge Transport server.
