Hello everyone, I was requested to forward the emails coming in a web access email account to also be forwarded to a hotmail account.Does anyone know how to do that from server management? Thank you guysgoude

Hi, You need to create a contact object with the hotmail address and then forward the mails from the user object to the contact object. Leif

If you already have an existing mailbox-enabled account, then you don't necessarily need to create an additional object for forwarding, you can use the targetAddress attribute. Check this thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2692071&SiteID=17

Hi, There are some issues with the targetaddress attribute: 1.) It is not visible in the gui and therefore it is not so easy to see for non admins 2.) The attribute is removed if the mailbox is moved to another database/server Leif

Hello,I'm sorry but I can't find anywhere this target Address attribute or the create object options. I am not familiar with this server management software of microsoft exchange 2003. The only thing I know how to do is to create/delete email accounts.Also under user properties there isn't any option like those you mentioned. If it is possible, can you please give me a step by step direction. Thank you very much!

Unbelievable!!!I was just typing the post about it and you answered me before I post the message.So, do you know any other ways, please? How can I see this target attribute option?

If you read the thread I linked in my first post you'll see detail about where to view and how to edit the targetAddress attribute for mailbox-enabled user objects. But if that information is foreign to you then I suggest just using a forwarding contact. Leif, it IS viewable in the Active Directory Users and Computers GUI, just not configurable. The attribute can be added as a view Column; but it is not viewable via the Properties tab.
