[<CommonParameters>] Description
Delivery agent connectors are used to route messages addressed to foreign systems that don't utilize the SMTP protocol. When a message is routed to a delivery agent connector, the associated delivery agent performs the content conversion and message delivery. Delivery agent connectors allow queue management of foreign connectors, thereby eliminating the need for storing messages on the file system in the Drop and Pickup directories. For more information, see Delivery agents and Delivery Agent connectors.
You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.
Examples
Example 1
New-DeliveryAgentConnector -Name "Contoso X.400 Connector" -AddressSpaces "X400:c=US;a=Fabrikam;p=Contoso;1" -DeliveryProtocol "X.400" -SourceTransportServers Hub01,Hub02,Hub05This example creates a delivery agent connector named Contoso X.400 Connector with the following configuration:
The delivery agent connector is hosted on the following servers:
- Hub01
- Hub02
- Hub05
The delivery agent connector is designed to handle X.400 connections to a company called Contoso that uses the carrier Fabrikam.
The address space for the connector is c=US;a=Fabrikam;p=Contoso.
Parameters
-AddressSpaces
The AddressSpaces parameter specifies the domain names that the delivery agent connector is responsible for. The complete syntax for entering an address space is: AddressSpaceType:AddressSpace;AddressSpaceCost. Enclose each address space in quotation marks (").
| Type: | MultiValuedProperty |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019 |
-Comment
The Comment parameter specifies an optional comment. If you specify a value that contains spaces, enclose the value in quotation marks ("), for example: "This is an admin note".
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019 |
-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.

| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019 |
-DeliveryProtocol
The DeliveryProtocol parameter specifies the communication protocol that determines which delivery agents are responsible for servicing the connector.
| Type: | String |

-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.

-IsScopedConnector
The IsScopedConnector parameter specifies the availability of the connector to other Mailbox servers. If the value of this parameter is $false, the connector can be used by all Mailbox servers in your organization. If the value of this parameter is $true, the connector can only be used by Mailbox servers in the same Active Directory site. The default value is $false.

- B (bytes)
- KB (kilobytes)
- MB (megabytes)
- GB (gigabytes)
Unqualified values are treated as bytes. The valid input range for this parameter is from 65536 through 2147483647 bytes. The default value is unlimited.
