Chapter 11: Exchange Server 2007 Routing
309
Routing Log Viewer
Service Pack 1 introduces a new tool for viewing routing information. Previous versions of Exchange
had a utility called WinRoute. WinRoute could connect to the Routing Engine service and retrieve the
current routing information as seen by that server. Exchange Server 2007 routing information is logged,
and the Routing Log Viewer provides similar functionality for Exchange Server 2007 that WinRoute had
in previous versions. The Log Viewer provides information on Active Directory sites, Exchange servers,
connectors, and address spaces. Another nice feature is the ability to compare two log files and see what
changes occurred between the logs. The tool is part of the mail flow tools within the Exchange Management
Console Toolbox.
Figure 11 - 5 shows an example of the Routing Log Viewer ??™ s compare log feature. This example shows
that a new Send Connector was added between the time the first log was created and the second log was
created. This can be extremely useful when trying to figure out what changed when a message takes an
unexpected route.
