    Hello Guys,

    I am new to Exchange 2016 and my boss told me to configure Email Forwarding for an Employee’s Mailbox who is about to leave office in last week of this month.

    So, Please help me to configure this.

    I will be appreciated for that.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Kerry,
    You can set Email Forwarding using Exchange Admin Center as well as PowerShell commands.
    I am writing commands for mail Forwarding in Exchange 2016
    Set-Mailbox -Identity "Dexter" -DeliverToMailboxAndForward $true -ForwardingSMTPAddress "dextermorgan@xyzabc.net"
    The above command will forward all incoming mails from Dexter mailbox to dextertermorgan@xyzabc.net
    Set-Mailbox -Identity "Dexter" -ForwardingSMTPAddress "carljonshon@company.com"
    The above command will forward all emails sent to Dexter to his coworker carljonshon@company.com

    hi
    You can also do this using Exchange Admin Center. Just follow below steps:
    1) GO to Recipients and then Mailboxes in Exchange Admin Center.
    2) Select a mailbox for which you want to apply Email Forwarding and then click on Edit.
    3) Then click on Mailbox features on mailbox properties page.
    4) Now go to Mail Flow and select View Details to change settings of forwarding emails. You can also set maximum no of recipients here.
    5) Now check the Enable Forwarding Checkbox and then click on Browse.
    6) In Select Recipient, select a user whom you want to forward emails.
    7) If you want to keep a copy of forwarding mails in your mailbox too then check the checkbox Deliver message to both forwarding address and mailbox.
