That's the way we're moving to; problem right now is that existing upstream automation code reads/writes attributes. We're going to have to build a way for that automation to execute remote PowerShell for Exchange related tasks. And... Don't have enough resources to commit to that much effort.
Thanks, it looks like proxyAddresses which we're used to dealing with via managed code. From: Michael B.

Microsoft no longer wants you to touch objects directly. Use the cmdlets. This allows them to change details of the implementation without changing the administrative interface. I think the best you are going to be able to do is the data types that the cmdlet accepts. Which is close enough, in my opinion. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123981.aspx ForwardingAddress Optional Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.RecipientIdParameter The ForwardingAddress parameter specifies a forwarding address. ForwardingSmtpAddress Optional Microsoft.Exchange.Data.ProxyAddress The ForwardingSmtpAddress parameter specifies a forwarding SMTP address. Each of those data types is documented. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.exchange.data.proxyaddress(v=exchg.140).aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.exchange.configuration.tasks.recipientidparameter(v=exchg.140).aspx Regards, Michael B.

I'll report it. You still don't have to have a mail contact if you don't want one.

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.

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?
