My understanding is there are no plans to migrate the users from the newly acquired forest into the "main" forest. My recommendation would then likely be for the main forest to have AD accounts with mailboxes, and the other forest can just use them. Kinda what I thought initially.

In either case, the Exchange forest must have a user account for the mailbox, but it can be disabled and not used except as a placeholder. With a trust, the user's home forest account can be granted Send As rights on the mailbox's user account, and Full Mailbox Rights on the mailbox itself. Myself, I prefer to migrate the accounts before the mailboxes, or at the same time, but you don't have to do it that way.

A client has acquired another company, and established a trust between the two forests. The client would like the users in the newly acquired forest to use the clients' Exchange server. When they (the new users) access the clients Exchange box, is their windows credentials enough, or will they need AD accounts in the "main" forest? So if this is common stuff. I've never done a cross forest implementation before. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=exchange To subscribe: http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
