How to Allow Anonymous Relay on a Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010

If for whatever reason you have to allow Anonymous Relay on a Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010 the simple and faster way to do that is by using PowerShell.

There are 2 command should be run at Powersell console:

1. To create a Receive connector. Here is a command:

New-ReceiveConnector -Name "Anonymous Relay" -Usage Custom -PermissionGroups AnonymousUsers -Bindings 192.168.1.35:25 -RemoteIpRanges 192.168.10.5

Note:
In this example 192.168.1.35:25 is IP of Exchange server. 192.168.10.5 is IP of Remote Mail Server
2. The second command adds to ANONYMOUS user permissions to use just created connector. Here is a command:

Get-ReceiveConnector "Anonymous Relay" | Add-ADPermission -User "NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON" -ExtendedRights "Ms-Exch-SMTP-Accept-Any-Recipient"

Windows Update - "For Windows and other products from Microsoft Update"

When you start Windows Update on your Windows 2008 R2 (or Windows 2008, or Windows 7) machine, you can see in the middle of the window it says "You receive updates: For Windows Only".
Maybe it’s OK for somebody, but….not for me :).

If you have MS SQL Server or Exchange Server (or any other Microsoft product) installed on this machine, you probably would like to see (I definitely want to see :)) “Windows Update” checks for updates for all products, not JUST for Windows.

So, the easy way to fix this “issue” and get a message: "You receive updates: For Windows and other products from Microsoft Update" is to go to http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-US and accept agreements needed to get Microsoft Update.
