Export IPRemoteRanges on Receive Connector

Have you ever try to export Remote IP on your Exchange Server Receive Connector ? I bet you will guess by using Exchange Management Shell (EMS), the answer is correct!

You can execute it by typing Get-ReceiveConnector –Identity ServerName\Relay | ft RemoteIP*, and you get result like the following below.

As you can see, there’s three magnificent dots at the end and you’re guessing, “How in the world expand those dots?”

Actually its pretty simple, just execute this command : Get-ReceiveConnector ("ServerName\Relay").RemoteIPRanges

And then maybe you can export it to CSV or TXT file

I don’t know from where MS found that word “Intellisense” but it awsome feature on PowerShell..!! If you want to try it, start PowerShell and type ise, it will start Windows PowerShell ISE.

So if you type let say Get- and right click on it, it will give you an option to Start Intellisense.

Or next time you can just use Ctrl+Space to activate it. And as you can see below, it will give you a dropdown list of cmdlets and a tooltip display the syntax of the cmdlet.
