That's okay. But the only server you want to have as a local
bridgehead in the one SMTP Connector is the one you want to send email
to the Internet.
On the RG of TW, there is no connector, if I try to create a connector in
the connector folder of TW RG, it said
"you must have at least one SMTP VSI in this routing group"
Have a look at the "US" Administrative Group. There's a "Routing
Groups" container in there. Beneath the "Routing Groups" container is
a "Members" container. What servers are in this container?
If all three of your servers are in the same RG then you don't need
any Routing Group Connectors. Nor do you need the other "Routing
Groups" containers (it's okay to leave them empty).
Things like, I tried to design better mail flow among the administrative
group,
Don't confuse yourself. Mail moves between servers in the same routing
group, and between bridgehead servers in different routing groups.
Administrative groups are for, well, administration.
but when we finished the installation
of 1st Administrative Group (US), and then TW, and then Paris (they all
linked by private telco LAN), I then
ran the Internet mail wizard, there is only one Internet SMTP connector
created in US RG_Connector.
Is that a problem? If you've placed all three SMTP Virtual Servers
into that one SMTP Connector then each of them will delivere mail to
the internet. You don't need one SMTP Connector for each SMTP Virtual
Server.
But please, describe how you want your Routing Groups to work. I
suspect that you want three RGs (one in each of your Administrative
Groups). If the three Routing Groups already exist then just move the
"TW" server to the Members container in the Routing Groups beneath the
"TW" Administration Groups. Do the same for the "Paris" server and
routing group.
With a server in each routing group you can now create the Routing
Group Connectors between the RGs. Then you can create a SMTP Connector
in each Routing group and assign the local server as the local
bridgehead.
Each of administrative group has its own Exchange server, but I can not
create a connector for each administrative group's connector. I however can
only create connectors in US administrative group_RG_Connectors folder only!
I'll bet it's becasue all three servers are in the "US" Routing Group.
Do you have different approach for how to design routing group, connector
among example lab that we have?
See above. :-)
