So, I create a new Mail Contact with the external address then use that object for the option -ForwardingAddress it works.
In AD altRecipent is in fact set to the DN of the previously created Mail Contact object. And there are several new attributes on that object vs. what we used in 2003. MS's docs here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd351134.aspx appear to be incorrect, when I try using their example it says there's no such object. I didn't think it was as simple as passing the target address. From: Michael B.

That's far different than a contact. TTBOMK, the actual implementation of forwarding hasn't changed (in terms of the attributes used), but Exchange 2010 does stamp objects with more attributes than Exchange 2003 or Exchange 2007 did, and if the attribute's versions aren't correct then Exchange 2010 complains.

This still works after we "upgrade" the contact object to work with 2010, however I would like to move this to a more native 2010 method. Is it really as simple as Set-Mailbox -Identity <> -ForwardingAddress <address>? If so, where does Exchange store this forwarded address?
