To create a routing group, you must make the Administrative Groups container and the default First Administrative Group contained within it visible. For additional information about how to make administrative groups visible, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: Each administrative group can have multiple routing groups. For aesthetic and manageability purposes, these are contained in a Routing Groups container. The default administrative group, First Administrative Group, does not have the Routing Groups container available. The first step in creating routing groups is to create the Routing Groups container for each administrative group.
