# Unable to Set Call Forward to Another PBX in 8x8 Admin Console

## Symptom

Unable to set a call forward to another PBX by selecting the user in the call forwarding options. When saving the component you have applied the forward to you see a red alert banner that reads, *"Saved with errors. Failed at updating call forwarding rules."*

## Applies To

- Admin Console
- Call Forwarding
- Multiple PBXes

## Resolution

Instead of searching for the destination to forward to by name, enter the extension number and set the call forward to the extension using the dial to option. ![Configuration Manager call forwarding dial to](https://cdn.us.document360.io/e3a59e39-abd3-4423-964c-0a4008dc5673/Images/Documentation/6618)

## Cause

Admin Console checks that the extension you are attempting to forward to is in the PBX when selecting a name from the dropdown list. If it is not in the PBX an error will be shown.
