I am trying to get an Edge server running in my Exchange 2010 org but I'm not having much luck. I have temporarily set up the Edge server on my Intranet so that there is nothing but a switch between my Transport box and my Edge box. No joy.
I have gone through the process of creating the EdgeSubscriptionInfo file and setting up the subscription on the transport box. When I execute a "start-synchronization" on my transport box, I get an error stating "Unable to contact the EdgeSync service". When I check the services on the box, I find that the service is not running. But, if I try to start it, it starts and immediately stops with the message that some services do that. No error, just an explanation.
I tried running the Exchange BPA but the results were a bit odd. For example, it errors on the Edge box stating that RUS isn't configured and then give instructions for an earlier version of Exchange (2003, I think, but it may be 2007) on how to configure RUS. Not much help.
I did have it running for a bit but I had another problem. If an email was received that was using one of my non-primary domains, it was rejected as user unknown so I had to shut it down. The address was legit (I have 5 domains that I receive email on and any one user can be registered on any or all of them) but it was still rejected.
So, what am I doing wrong? Is there a document somewhere that can help me set this thing up?
Thanks for any assistance you can offer.
