Create a Routing Group

Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server functions as though servers in the same routing group are on a network with full-time, reliable connections, and Exchange does not attempt to make network communications more efficient between the servers. You can create the most efficient messaging system by grouping servers with full-time, reliable connections into a routing group, and then by adding connectors to link the routing group to other servers with which the connection is intermittent or unreliable.

Note   Before you can create a routing group, you must create a routing group container under your administrative groups container.

To create a routing group:

1. Start System Manager
   On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager.
2. Navigate to Routing Groups.

   System Manager

3. Right-click Routing Groups, click New, and then click Routing Group.
4. On the General tab, in Name, type a name for the new routing group, and then click Apply or OK.
