Last year we were having problems running out of space on one of our Exchange 2003 servers, so I set up a Exchange 2007 server in a Hyper-V guest with the intention of moving all the mailboxes over, turned out that the original Exchange 2003 server couldn't support Hyper-V so we moved a bunch of unused mailboxes over to the 2007 server which has kept us going.
Year later, I now have a new server so have stuck Exchange 2010 on it, moved all the 2007 mailboxes over, decommissioned the 2007 server and am now stuck.
Originally when installing 2007 I was asked to create a mail flow with the legacy 2003 servers, when installing 2010 it picks up this link and makes use of it (I assume) now I've decommissioned the 2007 server the mail flow link is broken. I can't find anywhere that suggests how to move it or how to create a new one without uninstalling 2010 and putting it back in again. You can't see it in Exchange 2007/2010 consoles, it does appear in he System Console for 2003 but you can only look at it, not edit.
I've been able to send email from the 2010 mailboxes but incoming mail follows the old mail flow connector and gets stuck.
I've tried new-routinggroupconnector in the Exchange command shell but that only seems to create it on the 2010 side and not on the legacy 2003 server.
Don't suppose anyone else has had a similar encounter?
Thanks
