Routes and route groups expanded

Is there any way to force the routes and route groups to show un-expanded when I click on the Routes/Groups tab in switch executive? I have many and it is difficult to navigate when they are all expanded.
kph

Hi kphite,
At this time, there is no method to force the collapse of the routes and route groups. However, thank you for this product suggestion. Just so you know, we have previously considered the implementation of such a feature and agree that this functionality would be beneficial. We do have it in our plans for future revisions of NI Switch Executive.
Thanks again!

Lead Time - Customizatiou0131n steps: Shipping point, route, and loading group

It says about delivery scheduling that "The lead time considers the shipping point, route, and loading group". Can anybody explain me briefly the customization menu steps about this sentence?
Thanks in advance.

Please go through this document it will help you
1) Maintain transportation planning point through Menu as follows:
IMG Maintain Logistic Execution  Definition Enterprise Structure  transportation planning point.
Create your own like BP01 enter the general data¡¯s required
2) Defining modes of transport:
IMG RoutesBasic Transportation Functions  Transportation Logistic Execution Define modes of transportDefine routes
Use the standard like:
Shipping type: 01
Description: Road
3) Define shipping types :
Basic Transportation Transportation Logistic ExecutionIMG Define shipping types Route Functions
Or through T-code: SM30
PT: 01
Description: Truck
Mdtr: 01
STPG: 0001
4) Define transportation connecting point :
LogisticIMG DefineRoutes  Basic Transportation Functions  Transportation Execution Define transportation connection pointsroutes
Copy the std point and make it FB01 as departure zone and FB02 as destination zone
5) Define routes and stages.
 Logistic Execution IMG Define Define routes Routes  Basic Transportation Functions Transportation routes and stages
Use the standard route and copy it as FB0001 and enter the departure zone and destination as what we created.
6) Defining Transportation Zone:
Basic Transportation Logistic Execution IMG Define transportation Router determination  Route Transportation Functions zones
Use the standard transportation zone depending on the route so as for the example use 0000000003 - Southern Region
7) Maintain country or transportation zone for shipping points
 Logistic Execution IMG  Route determination  Route  Basic Transportation Functions Transportation Maintain country and transportation zone for shipping point
Shipping point be ASH1 and route as 0000000003 which is assigned to country India
8) Maintain route determination:
Logistic ExecutionIMG Route determination Route  Basic Transportation Functions  Transportation  Maintain route determination
Country of departure: India
Departure Zone: 0000000003
Country of destination: India
Destination Zone: 0000000003
And enter the datas needed like shipping condition 01, etc.
Maintain Transportation relevance for shipping point, sales document type and delivery types.
9) Now create shipping types
IMG Define shipment Shipments  Transportation Logistic Execution types
Copy the standard 0001 and make it to AFIL
10) Define and assign traffic zones through T-Code: T_76 (or) thru menu as follows
IMG Define Basic functions  Shipments cost  Transportation Logistic Execution and assign tariff zones
Copy the standard and make it to FABTARIFF and assign our transportation planning point as ATP1, ATP2 assign tariff zone to every particular transportation planning point
11) Define and assign pricing procedures
Shipments Transportation  Logistic Execution IMG define and assign pricing Price control  Pricing cost procedures
Copy the standard shipping cost pricing procedure SDFC00 to FBSC01
12) Assign purchasing data:
 Logistic Execution IMG Assign purchasing data Settlement  Shipments cost Transportation
13) Assign transportation planning point to shipping condition, purchase organization, purchasing group and to plants.
14) Define Automatic G/L account determination:
 Transportation  Logistics Execution IMG Automatic G/L Account Determination Settlement Shipment Costs
Or through T-code: OMWB
Use G/L account 614000 as used in standard
15) Automatic determination of CO assignments:
IMG Automatic Settlement  Shipment Costs  Transportation Logistics Execution Determination of CO Assignments
Or T-code: OKB9
16) Maintain shipping point address.
 Logistics Execution  Definition Enterprise Structure Define, copy, delete, check shipping point
17) Creating G/L account centrally.
Financial AccountingAccounting  Master Records  General Ledger 
Individual Processing Centrally
Or through T-Code: FS00
18) Enter the G/L account 614000 to the company code AFIL
19) Create transportation condition records:
 Shipment cost  Transportation  Master data Logistic Execution createPrices
Or thru T-code: TK11
Enter condition type FB00 that is freight condition type, which is used as standard in the shipping cost pricing procedure.
Enter the price and save it
Process:
1. The system determines the pricing procedure for the shipment cost item-using transportation planning point, service agent and shipment cost item category
2. Calculation Basis
3. Condition Record
4. Access sequence.
For the sales order, create a delivery using VL01N and pick the goods. Now create a shipment using VT01N and assign the delivery to the shipment document. Make sure to enter the carrier and other details before performing the transportation planning and execution. Save the shipment document and PGI for the delivery would be done automatically.
A shipment represents a physical goods movement between two or more locations.
For the system to create a shipment, shipping-relevant deliveries must exist.
You use Transportation Planning to group pending deliveries into shipments and then to perform the shipments.
The outbound delivery documents contain routes that the system calculates in route determination, and a transportation planning date for the delivery.
Dynamic transportation planning is responsible for grouping together outbound deliveries into shipments that have at least the same route, visit plan type and the same transportation planning date.
The following restrictions can be taken into account for a shipment in Dynamic Transportation Planning:
Weight
Volume
Variable capacity
Number of stops
Maximum duration
Loading units

Shipping docs (VT01) are created before PGI...
You cannot carry out transportation planning or creation of shipment after the goods issue has been executed. Once goods issue is done it means that the material has left your premises so there is no need for a transportation planning after it.
In case you need carry out the shipment documents at the end of the day you could just create the delivery documents during the day and at end of the day create the shipment documents and the goods issue

UCCX Redirect Step and Local Route Groups

Hello,
CUCM 9.1.2
UCCX 9.0
I have come across a situation in one of our UCCX scripts with the call redirect step where it is forwarded to a local cell phone for after hours calls. The number in the Call Redirect step is 9, followed by the 10-digit number of the cell.
While the call does redirect successfully from the UCCX script, the call always uses the local route group of the original calling party's device. So, if the call from an IP Phone to the cell is going out the gateway where the cell number is a local call, the 9 followed by the 10 digit number works fine.
If it's a site across the WAN, the call redirect to the cell fails because it's using LRG of the calling party's phone and thus it needs to be a long distance call.
I kind of thought the Service Parameter Local route group for redirected calls being set to "Local route group of last redirecting party" might have addressed this, like it did for call forward all situations, but it does not seem to be the case.
Would the recommendation be to use Call Consult Transfer instead of the Call Redirect step? This seems to work, but was wondering if there were other ways to approach it.
Thanks for your help,
Frank

Hi Anthony,
Thanks for the reply. The Call Consult Transfer step did resolve my issue, so now the call is always coming from the local site and using the LRG of the DP of the CTI ports. I previously had it set up using the Call Redirect step in the script with 9 followed by the 10-digit number, and thus it was kind of not working when calling over the WAN from remote sites.
I should have mentioned that we recently did an CUCM / CCX upgrade. In CUCM, all call restrictions were previously done at the device level, nothing on the line. Now we have the line doing the call restrictions. So the Call Redirect step worked fine in the old environment with the 10-digit number, not so much in the new.
But I like your suggestion about +E164 even better, since we rolled that into the upgrade as well. I tried putting the full +E164 number in the script using the Call Redirect step. Works perfectly from all sites.
Thanks for your help.

Matching Route Patterns with standard Local Route group and Specific Route Group

Hi
I have a customer with CUCM 8.6 with few branches
couple of branches in UK and few in Europe and middle east.
I configured route patterns with Standard local route group, but using their own Voice gateway, everything was working fine until adding the recent branch with matching pattern
UK has a mobile pattern with 9.07XXXXXXXXX (11 digits)
One Branch has a mobile with 9.07XXXXXXXX (10 digits)
When branch call 907X..(10digit) number there was a delay and I ticked the Urgent priority to process it quicker, but later realized the UK branch cannot dial 907x.. (11Digit) mobile.
I created Route List for branch and added the 10 digit pattern to that but still the UK cannot call 11 digit. so i believe when you call out it will check the pattern first and the Route-List and Route-Group and gateway play a part.
Is there a way to get 07 -10digit call out quickly also allowing the 07 -11digit pattern as well ( without changing the T302 timer)
Really appreciate your support
thanks
shameer

Yes, they key to managing overlapping centralized dial plans is to be really good with patterns, partitions, and CSSs. You can have 3 different 9.0[2-9]XX-[2-9]XX-XXXX patterns and assign them a different partition, and then assign that to the branch CSS. This will only work if each Branch has a different CSS.
For example:
9.0[2-9]XX-[2-9]XX-XXXX @ Egypt-PT ->Routes to Local route group of Egypt.
9.0[2-9]XX-[2-9]XX-XXX @ UK-PT -> Routes to Local route group of UK
9.0[2-9]XX-[2-9]XX-XXX @ Germany-PT -> Routes to Local Route group of Germany.
//PT = partition//
Then have Egypt-CSS that contains 9.0[2-9]XX-[2-9]XX-XXXX @ Egypt-PT.
UK-CSS contains 9.0[2-9]XX-[2-9]XX-XXX @ UK-PT
Germany- CSS contains 9.0[2-9]XX-[2-9]XX-XXX @ UK-PT
The other patterns will be invisible to your sites because they are in a different partition that is not in their CSS. 2 overlapping patterns in the same PT will cause you to wait for the inter-digit timeout unless you press #.
Thanks,
Frank

MAIL FLOW AND ROUTING GROUPS

Hi Folks
I have two Exchange(2003 and 2010) Servers in co-existence, I am able to send and receive on Exc2003, on Exc2010 I am only receiving I am not able to send.mails but cannot receive on the Exchange 2010. See error below when sending from Exc2010 server.
Thank you in advance
Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups:
[email protected]
Your message wasn't delivered due to a permission or security issue. It may have been rejected by a moderator, the address may only accept e-mail from certain senders, or another restriction may be preventing delivery.

Hi
Did you create a routing group connector for Exchange 2003-2010?
Have you got some anti-spam filtering enabled on exchange at all?
Do you have MX records for the new server?
Lastly, any SPF records?

Adding ICT trunk and SIP trunk into Route group

Hi ,
We need to map ICT and SIP trunk into the same route group ,but the problem here is already same ICT is mapped to another route pattern.
If i try to create new ICT with same remote IP ,it's throwing Add failed because the remote IP is already defined.
Is there anyway we can add ICT with same remote IP and map the ICT and SIP trunk ? or Is there anyway that we can add exisitng ICT into route pattern.
Route pattern is used for this route group is different.CUCM version - 7.X.Please advice.
Regards,
Ramanathan

Thanks Suresh ...
In that case ,I can assign the route group(ICT ,SIP - Top Down) to two different Route pattern.
Both patterns will hit ICT first ,Please correct me if I am wrong.

Create Routing Groups using BAPI_ROUTING_CREATE Limitation?

Hi all,
I am doing a conversion for the routing groups for PP. The routing groups include sequence, operation number, material assigned and component allocation.
In this project, the BOM size of the material is super huge, thus to ease the conversion. I have used Function module to download the BOM structure and then allow user to maintain manually the operation and sequence. After that I will use BAPI BAPI_ROUTING_CREATE to do the conversion.
And I manage to get all operation, sequences, material assigned and component allocated. However, I face a problem as the BOM size keep increasing and same material BOM might be assigned to different header BOM at the same time. Thus, key field such as level and path is important for the input.
Note: Please check the order path in CA03, the technical name is STPOB-WEGXX1 with attribute type DEC length 4.
In my case, the Order Path is more than 99... around few hundreds.... But the issue is the order path field used in the BAPI_ROUTING_CREATE: BAPI1012_COM_C-ORDER_PATH is only has attribute type NUMC length 2.
Either I get a short dump by passing in the order path, or I might miss out the some component allocation using the BAPI. Anyone faces this before? Please advise.
Thanks.
Best regards,
Vin

Hi Vivek,
I got this reply from SAP.
ORDER_LVL and ORDER_PATH need not be filled, but PATH has to be
filled with the KANTE values.
The logic to calculate path value is the same as the kante value.
(PATH)
A (N) 0
-> B (P) 1
-> B1(N) 1
-> B2(P) 2
-> C (P) 3
-> C1 (N) 3
-> C2 (P) 4
N- normal item P- phantom
Note 305919 details this.
However, it quite confuses me as I read through sapnote 305919 : It seems like what is been replied from SAP does not really correct.
Symptom
You want to create component allocations to phantom assemblies using batch or direct input. In order to uniquely identify the phantom assembly, you must enter the level and the path. This note describes how the SAP System assigns the level and the path.
Thus, I will continue to check with SAP. I think this is the inconsistency of the database and the BAPI, correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Vin

CUCM 10.5 - Order of trunks in Route Group ignored...Not sure why

Question #1
I've had a voice mail pilot number working for a long time now. It's MS Unified Messaging (MS UM for short). Since we have more than one MS UM server, I thought I'd go ahead and create a SIP trunk for each of the MS UM servers and then put them in the existing Route Group (RG). I thought I'd go ahead and reorder the trunk groups listed in the RG just to be sure my configure for the new trunk groups was correct. I have the SIP Options Ping enabled in my SIP profile and I do see all the MS UM SIP trunks with a status of 'Full Service'. Anyway, if I place one of the newly added SIP trunks for MS UM at the top of the existing RG, my calls are still ending up at the original MS UM server. It's like CUCM is ignoring the fact that I placed the new SIP trunk at the top and it keeps routing to the old/existing SIP trunks/MS UM server I had in this RG. I tried resetting the SIP trunks and also reset the Route List (which I didn't think I'd need to do, but I did it anyway) and the result is the same. It won't select the new SIP trunks no matter what I try.
I didn't try removing the original SIP trunk from that RG yet and I don't want to do it during the business day, but I could try that after hours and see what happens then.
Any ideas about why it won't use the new SIP trunks even though they're in service and at the top of the RG list (higher priority), above the original SIP trunk? My RG is set for top down, not circular.
Question #2:
Here's a somewhat related question. (screenshot attached for this one) I first thought I could simply go to the original SIP trunk and add the other IP addresses for the ofther MS UM servers so I wouldn't need to create more SIP trunk groups for this. Maybe I'm understanding it wrong, so please enlighten me what these fields are really used for. On the SIP trunk page, there's a SIP Information section and that's where you add the IP address of the device CUCM is talking to (Destination). For example, the MS UM server. Was I wrong to assume that if the SIP trunks would be identical in their config you can simply add the other IP addresses for the alternate MS UM servers here in this section of the SIP trunks page? What exactly would the extra IP address fields be used for (when you click + to added another address)?
As soon as I added a second IP address, my calls to MS UM stopped working. After I removed the second IP (which is for an alternate MS UM server), everything started working again. Just curious how that IP address field should really be used. For now, I simply created new SIP trunk groups for the other MS UM servers.
Thanks :-)

Hello,
For me both questions are related, and I expect a communication issue between CUCM and the new MS UM server.
I would like to start with the 2nd question as it answers both, the below is mentioned in the admin guide of CUCM 8.5 but no much explanation was added to the admin guide of 10.0:
"•When an outbound call gets placed, a destination address gets chosen randomly. No preference is given to one destination address over another. All SIP messages that are sent out for a given outbound call go to the same destination address.
•The SIP trunk accepts inbound messages from any of the configured destination addresses."
The above answers your inquiry, redundancy cannot be achieved by configuring multiple destinations. And calls are dropped when you add the new ip address within the same trunk, because it was chosen but the CUCM was not able to communicate with it, and also this explains why the new MS UM server trunk was not selected in the RG, as CUCM also was not able to communicate with it and moved to the next member in the RG (i.e. the old MS UM).
- Can you try to ping the new MS UM server from CUCM server, SSH to CUCM server and issue the following command: utils network ping IP_ADDRESS_OF_NEW_MS_UM
- It can be that the new MS UM server is configured to accept only SIP UDP messages, can you try changing it from the SIP security Profile?
If the above two suggestions did not help to isolate the issue, then we need detailed CCM logs covering test outgoing call together with the IP addresses of both MS UM servers.
Thank you,
Shadi

TEHO with Local Routing Group

Hi,
I was watching an online training video of setting TEHO using Local Routing Group on CUCM 8.6. However somehow I think he configured it wrong.
In his example,
He used a centralized call processing infrastructure for NY (hosts the CUCM) and CA offices. NY and CA router groups are created to contain local gateways respecitively and also assigned to corresponding device pool. When configuring Route List for the remote patterns (Pattern to reach CA numbers from NY, vice versa), he only created one RL for both patterns and only added the Standard Local Route Group to the RL… Then wrap up the configure.
To me, in order to make TEHO work, there should be one RL for each location (one for NY and one for CA) and the NY route group needs to be added into the CA RL and CA Route group needs to be added into NY RL and both RL has SLRG as secondary option.
Am I crazy or the video did it wrong...

Good catch, with what is described here, when someone in CA calls a number in CA, the CA route list would be matched and the route list would be selected which contains Standard Local Route Group (SLRG) and the device pool for CA would be checked and the CA route group would be selected. That works as expected. Now if a CA phone calls a NY number, the route pattern would be matched, the route list the route pattern points to would be SLRG, so the device pool of the originating device would be checked. The CA device pool being that a CA phone placed the call would be checked for the local route group and that would be set for a CA route group, so the call would go out of a CA gateway.
What usually is done is that the route list for TEHO for the CA phone would contain, the NY route group and then SLRG in that order. That way the call would be extended to NY first out their local gateway for TEHO and then extended to the CA local gateway if the NY gateway fails. For NY to CA TEHO, the CA route group would be added to another route list, this time with the CA gateway first in the list followed by SLRG.

MGCP/Standard Local Route Group List question

Hello all,
Here is the scenario:
Site A - CUCM Pub/Sub / MGCP gateway
Site B - CUCM Sub / MGCP gateway
Site C - CUCM Sub / MGCP gateway
The sites are using the standard local route group with TEHO per location. Site A (HQ) has s discount carrier for LD, and therefore it would be cost effective to backhaul the LD from Site B and Site C to the Site A PRIs.
Can this be accomplished while using Standard Local Route Groups or is it necessary to go back to site specific routing?
Thanks,
JN

In CUCM 9 and older you can only have a single local route group per device pool (this changed on version 10), so you will either have to define the Local or LD RG as your Local Route group and then use standard route patterns/route lists/route group configuration for the other calls, so at site B you would have (assuming local route group is local trunks):
Local Pattern --> Standard Local RL
911 pattern --> Standard Local RL
LD pattern --> SiteB LD RL
Intl pattern --> SiteB LD RL
etc
HTH,
Chris

Port not available to be added to route group

CUCM 9.1.2
I have a 2911 (MGCP) with an FXO card. The FXO port is configured and shows as registered but will not show up in the ports list in my route groups so that I can add it. Every other port from my other MGCP gateways shows up fine. Resetting the port and having it re-register did not help. Any ideas?

If the port is assigned to a route pattern, it wont be an option available under Route groups and vice versa. I would check depending records on the ports to see where its assigned and change it.

Restore Deleted Routing Group (CA02)

Hi,
I am trying to restore a Routing Group which was accidentally deleted by a user in transaction CA02.
I can see that the data is in tables PLPO and PLKO, but the field LOEKZ in PLKO is marked with "X".
Do you know any transaction or any way to recover this Group and its content?
Thank You,
Sebastián Ligueros
Alynea-MVC

Hi,
I don't think it possible to restore
Try deleting the it from CA98 transaction
This will delete entries in all related tables like
MAPL, PLKO,PLAS and PLPO
And create new routing group.

Local Route Groups vs translation to E.164

Hello.
Can anybody describe local route groups benefits compared to dialplan with translations to E.164?
Let's see simple scenario. I have 3 sites - MSK, SPB and NSK. All site has phones and a gateway, each site has it's partition for termination (TERM-MSK, TERM-SPB, TERM-NSK) and a partition for translation (XLAT-MSK, XLAT-SPB, XLAT-NSK). There are 2 CSS for translation and termination for each site (CSS-X-MSK, CSS-X-SPB, CSS-X-NSK, CSS-TERM-MSK, CSS-TERM-SPB and CSS-TERM-NSK). All phones has a translation CSS local to it's site configured, for example phones at MSK has CSS-X-MSK in phone configuration. There are translation patterns for translating dialed off-net numbers to E.164 format (7495XXXXXXX for MSK, 7812XXXXXXX for SPB and 7383XXXXXXX for NSK). Subscribers uses 9 for local off-net calls and 90 for long-distance, there are 2 translation patterns with corresponding XLAT partition and CSS-TERM CSS (9.[1-9]XXXXXX -> 7495 prefix plus XXXXXXX and 90.[1-9]XXXXXXXXX -> 7 plus XXXXXXXXXX, partition XLAT-MSK, CSS CSS-TERM-MSK for MSK). CSS-X CSSes has corresponding XLAT partition only. CSS-TERM CSSes has allowed TERM patitions. Each route pattern has corresponding TERM partition and points to single route list with single route group. Finally I have 3 route patterns 3 route lists, 3 route groups, 6 partitions and 6 CSSes total).
Using Local Route Groups I have the same 3 route patterns, 3 route lists and 3 route groups but one partition and one CSS. Pros for this scheme is less partitions and CSSes. Cons is the loss of flexibility (I can't allow calls to anywhere from MSK and only MSK and NSK for NSK and can't use different prefixes for off-net calls for each office).
Have I understood the Features and Services Guide rignt? Is there other way to translate dialed off-net number to E.164 without using extra partitions and CSSes (Translatio Pattern requires this)?

Maxim,
Local Route Groups have not dependency on e.164 dial plan and vice-versa, there are independent features. Local Route groups allow you to consolidate your route patterns/route lists/CSS/PT, depending on complexity of your routing you can accomplish all your remote site routing via a common set of route patterns/list CSS/partitions, so routing decisions are based on local route groups assigned to device pool of the calling device rather than just the CSS. E.164 dial plan is merely a way to structure dialed numbers, how and where you transform them is up to you, I prefer using transformation patterns vs. translation patterns for example.
HTH,
Chris

Remove routing group

I just finished an SBS2003-to-Windows2012/Exchange2010 migration. I went through all the steps to migrate Exchange, await/verify replication, etc, seize the FSMO roles to the W2012 server, and finally removed the SBS2003 server from the domain and shut it
down. Everything is working fine with just Exchange 2010 with one small exception. One thing somehow got leftover: the Exchange administrative group containing only the old server. The only evidence is the event log here:
The topology doesn't contain a route to Exchange 2000 Server or Exchange Server 2003 [Old Server FQDN] in Routing Group blah, blah, blah.
Everything I have looked up on the subject explains how to remove problematic/obsolete routing group connectors; however, Get-RoutingGroupConnector returns nothing, and ADSIEdit reveals the problem: there a routing group containing just the old server left
over from the migration.
Configuration -> Services -> Microsoft Exchange -> [Exchange domain] -> Administrative Groups. The next level is where I see the problem. There are two administrative groups:
The new administrative group containing only the new Exchange 2010 server under CN=Servers
The original "first administrative group"containing only the old Exchange 2003 server under CN=Servers
I do see one disturbing thing that might indicate I missed a step in migration: the new administrative group is missing CN=Hierarchies that is present in the old/defunct administrative group. The new one has these:
Advanced Security
Arrays
Database Availability Groups
Databases
Routing Groups
Servers
Each of those contains references only to objects that exist and are functional in Exchange 2010. The old administrative group contains these:
Advanced Security (looks the same as the new one above)
Folder Hierarchies (one entry for Public Folders, Clas msExchPFTree)
Routing Groups (with nothing under first routing group -> Connections)
Servers (and only the old server listed)
So my questions are two:
Do I need to (and can I) move the Folder Hierarchies to the other administrative group? Or do I need to create one manually there?
If so, and when done, can I simply delete the obsolete/defunct "first administrative group" via ADSIEdit?

So, I think maybe I found the solution. I found a post here:
http://blog.bruteforcetech.com/archives/766 indicating how to manually create the Folder Hierarchies object under the new Exchange administrative group. Besides creating the Folder Hierarchy in the correct administrative group, I had to manually populate
the msExchOwningPFTreeBL attribute object of the PF Store. Then I got "multiple MAPI..." errors when attempting to manage public folders, so I finally moved the entire obsolete administrative group container to Lost & Found inside ADSIEdit
(so I could get it out of the way but still see it for reference).
I think the problem is solved; however, I would not be too surprised if one of you experts finds a major hole in my logic (beside missing the Folder Hierarchies during migration, which I think was the source of my woes today).

Interoperability routing group connector

Hello,
I have a Exchange 2003 SP3 Exchange organization. Befor i installed the first Exchange
2010 Server I have prepared the Organization.
setup /PrepareLegacyExchangePermissions
setup /PrepareSchema
setup /PrepareAD
setup /PrepareAllDomains
I wonder why no routinggroup connector was created after my Exchange 2010 Multirole installation.
Should I just ctreate a routinggroup connector via Exchange Shell?
New-RoutingGroupConnector -Name "Interop RGC" -SourceTransportServers "Ex2010Hub1.contoso.com" -TargetTransportServers "Ex2003BH1.contoso.com" -Cost 10 -Bidirectional $true -PublicFolderReferralsEnabled $true
"With my specific informations in the shell e.g. Target Server and Source Server"
Thanks for your Feedback
Best Regards
Farhad

Hi Farhad,
when you perform the Exchange 2010 installation on a unattended setup i.e, via commandlets it will not ask you to create Routing Group Connector (RGC) during the Exchange 2010 Hub Role installation.
It will ask you to create RGC only when you perform Graphical User Interface (GUI) installation via setup.exe
I think you might have been performed the installation in Unattended mode and thats the reason it never asked you to create RGC or you might have skipped the step of creating RGC during GUI installation.
So now you just need to create a new RGC for mail communication between ex2003 and ex2010 by the above command which you have mentioned only then mailflow btw ex2003 and ex2010 will happen.
Note: Ensure you select the correct source transport(EX2003 bridgehead) and target transport (Ex2010 Hub server).
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question.That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you to solve your problem.
