Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 will reach end of support on April 11, 2017. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2007

Use the Test-IPAllowListProvider cmdlet to test the configuration for a specific IP Allow List provider configuration on a computer that has the Hub Transport server role or Edge Transport server role installed. This configuration is used by the Connection Filter agent.

Syntax

Test-IPAllowListProvider -Identity <IPAllowListProviderIdParameter> -IPAddress <IPAddress> [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-Server <ServerIdParameter>]

Detailed Description

This command checks connectivity to the specified IP Allow List provider and then issues a lookup request to the IP Allow List provider. When you test the connection and functionality of the IP Allow List provider, you must enter a known allowed IP address in the IPAddress parameter.

To run the Test-IPAllowListProvider cmdlet, the account you use must be delegated the following:

  • Exchange Server Administrator role and local Administrators group for the target server

To run the Test-IPAllowListProvider cmdlet on a computer that has the Edge Transport server role installed, you must log on by using an account that is a member of the local Administrators group on that computer.

For more information about permissions, delegating roles, and the rights that are required to administer Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, see Permission Considerations.

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Identity

To specify the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory directory service, include the DomainController parameter on the command.
