Module:

ExchangePowerShell

Applies to:

Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

This cmdlet is available or effective only on Edge Transport servers in on-premises Exchange.

Use the Remove-AddressRewriteEntry cmdlet to remove an existing address rewrite entry that's no longer needed on an Edge Transport server.

For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.

Syntax

Remove-AddressRewriteEntry
      [-Identity] <AddressRewriteEntryIdParameter>
      [-Confirm]
      [-DomainController <Fqdn>]
      [-WhatIf]
      [<CommonParameters>]

Description

On Edge Transport servers, you need to be a member of the local Administrators group to run this cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1

Remove-AddressRewriteEntry "Address rewrite entry for contoso.com"

This example removes a specific address rewrite entry.

Example 2

Get-AddressRewriteEntry | Where {$_.InternalAddress -like '*contoso.com'} | Remove-AddressRewriteEntry

This example removes all address rewrite entries that include contoso.com in the domain name. It accomplishes the following:

• Retrieves all address rewrite entries.
• Filters the result for entries that have contoso.com or its subdomains as the internal address.
• Removes the filtered entries.

Parameters

-Confirm

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

• Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
• Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.

-DomainController

The DomainController parameter specifies the domain controller that's used by this cmdlet to read data from or write data to Active Directory. You identify the domain controller by its fully qualified domain name (FQDN). For example, dc01.contoso.com.

The DomainController parameter isn't supported on Edge Transport servers. An Edge Transport server uses the local instance of Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) to read and write data.
