Detailed Description

The Get-TransportPipeline cmdlet enables you to view all the transport agents configured in the following locations:

  • In the Transport service on a Mailbox server.

  • In the Front End Transport service on a Client Access server.

  • On an Edge Transport server in the perimeter network.

Note:
The associated transport service must be started, and at least one e-mail message must be sent through the server since the last service restart before the transport pipeline can be viewed. Only the transport events and agents that were involved in the processing of e-mail messages since the associated service was last restarted are returned.
