forwarding email of users to external accounts

Hi,
I need configure the forwarding of mails of a user to a external account.
How do it in Exchange 2010 Server, not in Outlook Client? Without a rule transport for each user, no create contacts, only in powershell o EMC.
I have to do it with 300 users (one to one) and I need know the faster option.

In a text file add all display names or aliases and run below command.

get-content "path of input file" | Set-Mailbox -ForwardingAddress user@externaladdress.com -DeliverToMailboxAndForward $true

Make sure allow automatic forward in default remote domain tab is checked.

Create a new contact (external email address)

Then go to exchange manager.

Create a contact for external user user@externaladdress.com

In a text file add all display names or aliases whose forwarding need to be set and run below command.

get-content "path of input file" | Set-Mailbox -ForwardingAddress user@externaladdress.com -DeliverToMailboxAndForward $true

Make sure allow automatic forward in default remote domain tab is checked.

You don't need to create an external contact - it can be done via Powershell as long as the AutoForward setting is set.
