Re: Setting forward to Exchange

[Jay Lee]

Don't use the email forwarding setting to set the user's mail routing. It's to easy for user's to break it. Instead, create a Google OU, something like "Forward to Exchange" and configure a receiving routing rule in the CPanel to route all mail to users in that OU to Exchange. Then moving a user in or out of that OU changes their mailflow between Google and Exchange.

I am trying to setup forwarding from GMail to Exchange. The PowerShell script I am using is pretty simple. Output looks like this.

Turning on forwarding for est...@sub.maindomain.com, emails will be DELETE (1 of 1)

Error 1303 : Entity est...@maindomain.com not valid

I know the destination email is correct. The Google Apps domain is a sub-domain. Any ideas?

$list = Import-Csv forwards.csv
foreach ($entry in $list)
  {
    .\gam.exe user $($entry.username) forward on $($entry.forwardemail) delete
  }

I do like that idea better, but I'm missing something. What if a users email address is hs_s...@maindomain.com for Exchange and est...@sub.maindomain.com for Gmail? Can GAM change the Envelope recipient setting based on a CSV?

Hi Eric.

Maybe I'm wrong but I think that you can't set up a forwarding to other domains. If you try to do this in user settings an email is sent to the forward address to verify that you want accept emails of this user. You can't do it with gam because you need this verification step. 

So I think that the best way as Jay said is set a route for a OU and include the users.

Our Google Apps domain is a subdomain of our primary domain name. I have a couple tech Google Apps accounts that have already been setup to either forward or deliver straight to an Exchange mailbox. Just curious is there is a way to automate that workflow instead of doing it for a couple hundred different users.

Hi,

I have a need to set up dual delivery for about 1,000 users from my Google Apps domain to an Office 365 domain. I had tested setting a forward in GAM to a test account which worked fine, but now I am trying to test against the production domain and I'm getting "Error: 1303 - Entity xxx...@xxx.com name not valid".

I have looked into the below recommendation, but it's not clear to me how to handle this if the user name and domain are different from the Apps domain. The naming convention in the Apps domain is firstnam...@domain.com, but the new naming convention is firstname...@newdomain.com.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks
