Exchange 2010

Roles
Client Access Server
This is the server that hosts the client protocols, such as Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3), Internet Message Access
Protocol 4 (IMAP4), Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS), Outlook Anywhere, Availability service, and
Autodiscover service.

The Client Access Server also hosts Web services.

The CAS role handles all connections between all external clients that need email access. All the protocols necessary
for client access are handled in the CAS.
Mailbox Server
This server hosts mailboxes and public folders.

The Mailbox server uses LDAP to access recipient, server, and organization configuration information from Active
Directory.

Mailbox Server role performs the following functions:


• Host mailbox databases
• Provide e-mail storage
• Host public folder databases
• Calculate e-mail address policies
• Generate address lists and offline address books (OABs)
• Conduct Multi-Mailbox Searches
• Provide content indexing
Hub Transport Server
This is the mail routing server that routes mail within the Exchange organization.
The Hub Transport server role processes all messages that are sent inside the Microsoft Exchange Server 2010
organization before the messages are delivered to a recipient's Inbox or are routed to users outside the
organization.

There are no exceptions to this behavior; messages are always passed through a server that runs the Hub Transport
server role.

The hub transport server oversees message filtering and formatting and checks the validity of attachments. This
provides the oversight that an Exchange organization needs to control internal and external email.

A hub transport server also record and journals email messages, adds company disclaimers and other actions that
support regulatory requirements. This role can work in conjunction with an edge transport server.
Edge Transport Server

This is the mail routing server that typically sits at the perimeter of the topology and routes mail in to and out
of the Exchange organization.

The Edge Transport server role provides antivirus and antispam message protection for the Exchange Server
infrastructure. Edge Transport servers act as message hygiene gateways and are designed to reside in a
perimeter network or demilitarized zone (DMZ). This allows them to block harmful traffic before it reaches the
corporate network.
Unified Messaging
This server hosts the integration of voice (voice-mail), calendar, email and fax.
Unified messaging enables voicemail and faxes to be delivered to the Outlook 2010
(Version 14) Inbox.

Unified Messaging puts all e-mail and voice messages into one Exchange 2010 mailbox that can be
accessed from many different devices.
