Or SMTP connectors. But two different orgs can't exchange directory information without some third-party tool.

Matt, Site Connectors are for email sites that in the same Org. If different Orgs are used at remote sites you have to use X.400 connectors. Then you run into Admin. issues. Look at any good Exchange book on this issue as you also use x.400 connectors for sites joining your Org that are in a different domain. I had to do the latter once. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Monteleone-Haught Matt - Millville" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2001 3:28 PM Subject: RE: Consolidation of two Bridgehead Servers. > The two bridgehead servers are currently connected via X400 connectors. > They also have DR connectors to each other. > The articles I've read talk about connecting the sites with Site Connectors. > Do have to do this?
