MOM Rule Name

The source routing group is the local routing group for a connector with connected routing groups. This configuration is supported only in routing groups with Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003 servers.

Explanation

This Error event indicates that routing has determined that the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 routing group has been set as the destination routing group for a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) or X400 connector that was configured in an Exchange 2000 Server or Exchange Server 2003 routing group. This is not a supported configuration for the Exchange 2007 routing group. This connector will be ignored by routing. You must use a routing group connector to connect the Exchange 2007 routing group to Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003routing groups. For more information, see Message Routing in a Coexistence Environment.

User Action

To resolve this error, do the following:

  • Remove the configured connector. Create a routing group connector between the indicated routing groups by using the New-RoutingGroupConnector cmdlet in the Exchange Management Shell.

  • If the recommended steps do not resolve this error, contact Microsoft Customer Support Services. For more information about how to contact support, visit the Microsoft Help and Support Web site.
