Move a Server Between Routing Groups

To move a server from one routing group to another, drag and drop the server from the Members folder of the old routing group into the Members folder of the new routing group. Note that the routing groups must be in the same administrative group for you to move servers between them. You cannot move servers between routing groups in different administrative groups.

You cannot move a server to another routing group if one or more of its virtual servers is a bridgehead server for connectors in its current routing group. To move a server, first remove all its virtual servers from all the bridgehead server lists of all the connectors in its current routing group.

To move a server between two routing groups:

1. Start System Manager
   On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager.
2. Expand the Members folder of the routing group to which you want to move the server.

   System Manager

   1. Administrative Groups
   2. Administrative Group
   3. Routing Groups
   4. Routing Group
   5. Members
3. Navigate to the Members folder that currently contains the server.

   System Manager

   1. Administrative Groups
   2. Administrative Group

   5. Members
4. In the details pane of the Members folder that currently includes the server, select the server you want to move.
5. Drag the selected server to Members in the new routing group.

Note   You can add servers to routing groups only during installation. By default, every server in your organization is added to a routing group. After installation, you can move servers between routing groups to place servers with reliable connections in the same routing group.
