Re: Archiving Calendar Items

Recovering calendar's are tempermental, especially that old. Archiving will move meetings across, but only after their recurrence is over, don't end, don't archive. If your backups don't go back that far, doubt it personally, then I'd say a complete restore is impossible. A partial using PST files

Thanks for the info. I'll have to take some time to digest your points. One thing that jumps out though is your comment that there should only be one Routing Group Connector. On the Exchange 2003 server, there are actually two RGCs, one called EXCH2003-EXCH2010 in the First Admin Group, and another

RE: Exchange 2003 to 2010 issues

You only need two send connectors - one for the internal domain (acadiau.ca) and one for "everything else". You don't need any additional receive connectors, you simply need to modify the Permissions tab on the default receive connector to allow "anonymous users". You need a single RoutingGroup
