A company that is running Exchange Server 2010 merges with a company that is running Exchange
Server 2007. After the merger, all external email will be delivered by the Exchange Server 2010 Hub
Transport server. The company intends to keep both Exchange Server environments active for the
next year. You are designing an infrastructure deployment plan. You have the following
requirements:
• Ensure that users with Exchange Server 2010 mailboxes can send external email messages to any
domain.
• Ensure that users with Exchange Server 2007 mailboxes can send external email messages to only
specific domains.
You need to recommend a solution that meets the requirements. What should you recommend?
A.
Configure transport rules on the Exchange Server 2010 Hub Transport server.
B.
Configure remote domains on the Exchange Server 2010 Hub Transport server.
C.
Configure accepted domains on the Exchange Server 2007 Hub Transport server.
D.
Configure transport rules on the Exchange Server 2007 Hub Transport server.
Explanation:
Block Users Sending to Specific Domains with Exchange Server 2010. In some scenarios an
organization will want to prevent email users from sending messages to certain external domain
names. This can be achieved with Exchange Server 2010 using a Transport Rule. Open the Exchange
Management Console and navigate to Organization Config/Hub Transport.
Start a New Transport Rule. Give the rule an appropriate name and description.
Choose conditions of “From users that are inside the organization” and “When a recipients address
contains specific words“. Click on “specific words” and add the domain name you want to block, for
example “@fabrikam” (without quotes). You can enter several domain names in this list.
Click Next and choose actions of “Send rejection message to sender…“.
Enter a rejection message and an enhanced status code so that the sender or the IT admins can
easily tell why the email was rejected.
Complete the Transport Rule wizard and test the new rule by trying to send an email to that domain
name.
You should now receive a bounce message from the Exchange server with the text that you
configured.
