XADM: How to Create a Routing Group (266744)

MORE INFORMATION

To create a routing group, you must make the Administrative Groups container and the default First Administrative Group contained within it visible. For additional information about how to make administrative groups visible, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: Each administrative group can have multiple routing groups. For aesthetic and manageability purposes, these are contained in a Routing Groups container. The default administrative group, First Administrative Group, does not have the Routing Groups container available. The first step in creating routing groups is to create the Routing Groups container for each administrative group.

How to Add a Routing Groups Container to an Administrative Group

1. On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager.
2. Right-click the First Administrative Group container, point to New, and then click Routing Groups Container.
3. Press F5 to refresh the Exchange System Manager window.
4. In the First Administrative Group container, expand the tree for the new container named Routing Groups to see the First Routing Group stub.

To create additional routing groups for an administrative group container, repeat the preceding steps.

To Create Additional Routing Groups in the Routing Groups Container

1. On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager.
2. Make sure that the Routing Groups container is visible in the administrative group that you want.
3. Right-click Routing Groups, point to New, and then click Routing Group.
4. On the General tab, type a name in the Name box, and then click OK.
