This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Shell to view the delivery status notification (DSN) configuration for Exchange Server 2007 on a computer that has the Hub Transport server role or the Edge Transport server role installed.
Note
You cannot use the Exchange Management Console to perform the procedures in this topic. Instead, you must use the Exchange Management Shell. For more information about how to use the Exchange Management Shell, see Using the Exchange Management Shell.
Before You Begin
To perform the following procedures, the account you use must be delegated the following:
- Exchange View-Only Administrator role
To perform the following procedures on a computer that has the Edge Transport server role installed, you must log on by using an account that is a member of the local Administrators group on that computer.
For more information about permissions, delegating roles, and the rights that are required to administer Exchange Server 2007, see Permission Considerations.
Also, before you perform these procedures, you must specify the identity of the DSN message or messages that you want to view. For more information about how to specify the identity of a DSN message, see DSN Message Identity.
Viewing a Summary List of Customized DSN Messages
By default, the Get-SystemMessage cmdlet, which you use to view the configuration of customized DSN messages, returns a summary list of all customized DSN messages that are configured manually by an administrator.
To use the Exchange Management Shell to view a summary list of all customized DSN messages
Run the following command:
Get-SystemMessage
Viewing the Detailed Configuration of a Specific Customized DSN Message
To view the detailed configuration of a customized DSN message, you must pipe the output of the Get-SystemMessage cmdlet to the Format-List cmdlet. You can specify the identity of a specific customized DSN message to view that message's detailed configuration, or you can omit the identity to retrieve all customized DSN messages. To view the detailed configuration for a specific DSN message, use the following command syntax:
Get-SystemMessage <Identity> | Format-List
Note
You cannot use this procedure to retrieve the detailed configuration of the original DSN messages that are included with Exchange Server 2007 and not customized. To view a detailed list of these original DSN messages, see the "Viewing a List of Original DSN Messages" section later in this topic.
For more information about pipelining in the Exchange Management Shell, see Pipelining.
For more information about how to work with the information that is returned by a command, see Working with Command Output.
