Exchange 2013 on a single Server 2012 computer - confused
About a year ago I moved our Ex2007 to Ex2013 (thank you Simon). We're a small organization and everything runs on one box. Although I migrated prior to SP1, server is now at SP1 level. I am following some articles and trying to enable DNSBL features which suggests that I need more transport agents than I have, specifically Connection Filtering Agent. Here is my current list:
Identity Enabled Priority
-------- ------- --------
Transport Rule Agent True 1
Malware Agent False 2
Text Messaging Routing Agent True 3
SMSMSERoutingAgent True 4
SMSMSESMTPAgent True 5
Text Messaging Delivery Agent True 6
I don't have an Edge Transport server installed which as I recall was because there was none prior to SP1. So here are the questions:
Can I use an Edge Transport Server if I am running on a single box? If so, will that allow me install the Connection Filtering Agent? Any reason not to do these things?
How do I install/enable these? Finally, is there a required priority for these agents?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
You don't need the Edge role, just install the agents and then you can configure the use of a blacklist.

Awesome - will try that tonight as I have to run cu6 as well. Do the update first?
It doesn't really matter either way.
