This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Shell to configure site affinity for the Autodiscover service on the computer that is running Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 that has the Client Access server role installed. You can configure the Autodiscover service to use site affinity to specify Active Directory sites that are preferred for clients to connect to a particular instance of the Autodiscover service. For more information about how to use site affinity with the Autodiscover service, see Deployment Considerations for the Autodiscover Service. Configuring the Autodiscover service to use site affinity is achieved by using the Set-ClientAccessServer cmdlet.
