You are correct, the example is wrong. I'll report it. You still don't have to
have a mail contact if you don't want one. You do this instead:
Set-mailbox -ForwardingSMTPAddress
[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
Note the addition of "smtp" in the parameter.

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.

Set-Mailbox requires a mailbox, which means that it requires a user object.
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.

What does Exchange do when you set the forwarding via Set-Mailbox? How is that
forward actually implemented by 2010?

If it's truly a CONTACT then you should be using New-MailContact. You can also
migrate an AD contact to an Exchange contact by using Enable-MailContact.

Subject: 2010 Mail Forwarding
For mail forwarding, in Exchange 2003 we built a web app that creates a contact
object with a targetAddress of the external email then "attached" that to the
altRecipient attribute for the user. 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?
