Hi,

If the Hub Transport server has the anti-spam agents installed, then it can 
validate email addresses against the AD in realtime when users send messages 
via SMTP.

I understand why the sync process is there in the edge workgroup configuration, 
but not if deployed on a DM joined TMG box, where it would be more efficient to 
look up records from the AD to which the machine was already a member :).

I am an Exchange guy rather than ISA, just use ISA to get the Exchange and a 
couple of other web publishing scenarios working, so am waring my flame proof 
gear :).

Andrew.

While I know of no way to "bypass" the edge functionality of the Edge role and 
directly validate email addresses from an AD connection as opposed to the local 
ADAM, I'm not sure why you would want to, or why you would bother configuring 
Edge if you do so.  Part of the purpose of edge is to provide the functionality 
of validating organization email addresses in an isolated environment before 
forwarding to your Exchange (or other) SMTP server, both from a traffic and 
performance standpoint.  That being said, I'm sure that there is some hork 
option in POSH built in to "appease" the user as the Exchange team is 
apparently known to provide.

Hi,

One thing I can't work out with this is that in Exchange 2007 with the edge in 
a workgroup, ADLDS and edge sync subscriptions are used to populate the edge 
server with AD specific information.  If the edge server is domain joined (as 
part of the TMG system), will that still be required?

Thanks.
Andrew (who is counting the days until I can get my edge servers on TMG).

I understand what you are telling, I perfectly understand your point. However 
to people who don't follow this list things probably are not so clear. So I 
would suggest that here and there some documentation needs to be updated/added. 
All docs/books/articles on E2k7 that I've read state that this role should be 
installed in a workgroup server in a perimeter network. The words chosen in 
these documents i.m.h.o. suggest that this is THE only correct method. With the 
arrival of TMG this changes...
