A while back I queried the group about putting E2K front-end servers in a different domain (but same forest) than the backend servers. A couple of people responded that they could indeed be in different domains and were in fact running that way.
Based on that positive feedback, I decided to try it out in test, and lo and behold it does seem to work (very limited testing so far...). Now the weird part: While perusing the Microsoft document titled "Exchange Front-end and Back-end Topology White Paper" for firewall information, I found a blurb on page 16 that specifically states that back-end servers must be in the same domain as the front-end servers. I had missed that entirely in previous reads! This paper is dated July 2000. I'm hoping that this is either wrong, or outdated (superceded by a service pack perhaps?) Does anyone have any references showing that this supported? I really hate to burn a PSS call on this... _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
