Help setting Exchange 2007 Mail size - Receive Connector

[Asgorath]

I'm in the Exchange 2007 power shell, did a:

get-receiveconnector | list

It shows I have four receive connectors:

Identity : LA-MAIL\Default LA-MAIL
Identity : LA-MAIL\Client LA-MAIL
Identity : CY-MAIL\Default CY-MAIL
Identity : CY-MAIL\Client CY-MAIL

I know I have two mail servers, both serving as hub transports

I need to increase the MaxMessageSize value to 20MB. Currently it is set to 10MB

I am reading a tutorial and it says to use the command:

SET-RECEIVECONNECTOR –IDENTITY RAUS –MaxMessageSize MessageSizeYouWant

in order to change the attributes.

So in my case I'd set...

SET-RECEIVECONNECTOR –IDENTITY LA-MAIL\Default LA-MAIL –MaxMessageSize 20MB
...
<The rest of the connectors>
Is that right?

 

[Asgorath]

I couldn't figure out how to get the identity param. to work...So I just did a:

SET-RECEIVECONNECTOR –MaxMessageSize MessageSizeYouWant

Then it prompted me for the identity, and I typed the identities as I have them listed above.

get-receiveconnector | select identity,maxmessagesize

set-receiveconnector "LA-MAIL\Default LA-MAIL" -maxmessagesize 20MB

 

[Asgorath]

get-receiveconnector | select identity,maxmessagesize

set-receiveconnector "LA-MAIL\Default LA-MAIL" -maxmessagesize 20MB

That didn't work

 

[armyoffoo]

Set-ReceiveConnector -Identity "LA-MAIL\Default LA-MAIL" -MaxMessageSize 20MB

how about this?

 

[Captain Colonoscopy]

why not just use the GUI and set it that way?

 

[Asgorath]

Set-ReceiveConnector -Identity "LA-MAIL\Default LA-MAIL" -MaxMessageSize 20MB

how about this?

It wouldn't take that. Not sure why.

And to you capt'n....Where do you set that in Exchange 2007? I don't see that setting in the exchange management console.

organization config > global settings > right click transport settings > properties

I was going to vpn into one of my client's to make sure . . . but I'm watching the news . . . .

organization config > global settings > right click transport settings > properties

I don't see 'global settings'

Under organization config I only see..

mailbox
client access
hub transport
unified messaging

Close you guys, just forgeting the best bit about powershell, piping!

get-receiveconnector | set-receiveconnector -maxmessagesize 20MB

PS: You can't do this in the EMC

hub transport is transport.

Click hub transport and then global settings is a tab within hub transport

Sure you can just go where I said in my post. unless maybe its only in SP1. Pre SP1 i dont think there was a limitation by default.

This is in several locations in the EMC, i believe under the transport under organization and under gah the 3rd one down...cas? You'll need to check the settings both places. And yea you need SP1 for the EMC.
