RE: Creating Routing Group Connectors Between E2010 and E2003
If you use the GUI to do your install, an RGC will be automatically created. If you do not use the GUI, one will not be created. Your syntax looks proper. If you don't have a separate lab environment - you still have a lab. It's called your production servers.

RE: Creating Routing Group Connectors Between E2010 and E2003
Michael, I don't believe you can create additional RGCs via GUI. From my research, it appears it can only be done via Powershell. I can't even see the RGCs in the E2010 Management Console. Maybe my question was not clear, but it was referring to creating additional RGCs. I'm just not sure if I also need to manually create the RGCs within the E2003 Administrative Group. The command below will definitely create the RGC under the new E2007/E2010 RGC (viewable via E2003 ESM), but I'm not sure if it will create in E2003.

RE: Creating Routing Group Connectors Between E2010 and E2003
You are correct. You cannot create or modify RGC's from the GUI. If you set bidirectional:$true then the RGC gets created on both sides.

RE: Creating Routing Group Connectors Between E2010 and E2003
Thanks Michael. After I sent my last email, I noticed that Bidirectional was not in the Get-RoutingGroupConnector commandlet, so I assumed (and hoped) that Bidirectional would create it in the E2003 AG.

Re: Outlook 2010: Exchange account importing PST
I have seen it happen for numerous PST especially old ones, i think it has to do with fragmentation of the PST file, importing the file creates a new one not fragmented at all, same thing happens would happen if you had used the Compact Now button in Outlook under File Properties). On Tue, Jan 29, 2013 at 6:25 AM, Greg Saunders gsaund...@myitanalyst.comwrote: Setup new exchange user in Outlook 2010 with caching to OST file. I am doing a File / Open / Import to import a previous PST file. This one happened to be around 7GB, but done many over last few days. I just happened to be watching this one all the way through... not just what Outlook is saying, but watching the OST and PST file sizes. Outlook was importing and while it is doing this you see the dialog box. Eventually the dialog box goes away as if everything is done. Now I don't close Outlook yet, because I can tell the OST file is still syncing with exchange. Once it looks like it is done I will close Outlook and move the PST file to an archive folder in case we ever need it. BUT what I noticed in this case was the PST file was shrinking in size. I did NOT expect to see this. It kept gradually decreasing in size. In this case it went from 7GB down to 2.6GB when it finally stopped shrinking. WHY is it doing that. I didn't think importing actually altered the PST file... I thought it just IMPORTED... not take anything out of it. Is it possible it was compressing itself after the import? I am guess all it did was compress it since after closing and re-opening everything both files seem to have the same number of items.

Re: Outlook 2010: Exchange account importing PST
I appreciate the response. That's the only thing I could think it was doing, but wanted some confirmation. I just had not paid attention before so I wasn't expecting to see that happening when just importing. Did think the original file would actually be altered in any way. Thanks again.
