EdgeSyncService and AD Site And Services

Question

_{Friday, October 28, 2011 7:06 AM}

I noticed there is this folder named EdgeSyncService  in AD site and services in location where Exchange 2010 lives.  What happens if I move the Exchange 2010 server to another site, will this folder come along with it or I need to create it manually. I am not using edge server for exchange 2010. will it be recreated once I move Exchange 2010 to a new site.  is it ok to delete?

1. Edge sync is per AD sites, so if you move yur Exch server (hub) to another site then you will have to subscribe again and setup a new edge sync.

Hi Piloteight,
The EdgeSyncService Folder was created in Site And Services during the Exchange setup and that is by design and nothing to worry about.
It contains some setting for EdgeSync (even if one isn't configured) and if you want to know what they are, just run Get-EdgeSyncServiceConfig | fl

>What happens if I move the Exchange 2010 server to another site, will this folder come along with it or I need to create it manually.
Nothing will happend and you don't need to create it manually in the new site, but it's possible with New-EdgeSyncServiceConfig

>I am not using edge server for exchange 2010. will it be recreated once I move Exchange 2010 to a new site.
No, it will not create the folder. Only an Edgesubsubscription will create the folder automatically after exchange has been installed.

>is it ok to delete?
Sure, but I wouldn't bother.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I do not have an exchange edger server.  so I am assuming when I moved this to a new site,  the folder named EdgeSyncService  in AD Site and Services will be recrated ?

No, that's default. When you create the edgesync, it should create a new folder in your new AD site.Sukh

I don't understand. If I don't have an edge server,  how did this folder in AD site and service got created the first place.
