We are merging with another company and are getting rid of sendmail in favour of becoming part of the new companies Exchange 5.5. They have one Exchange 5.5 site, a pair of replicated Exchange 5.5 servers on NT4 in separate NT domains (different cities), connected by a 2meg link. The original setup was done by contractors leaving me and a copy of "Teach yourself Exchange" to do the migration. I am in the same city as one of the existing servers, connected via router and 2meg link. I want to set up a new server in the same NT domain but make it a new Exchange site. I have managed to set up an exchange site connector with the Exchange server with the IMS but cannot test connection or mail delivery.
My questions are: - do I need a BDC for the domain on my side of the router (perhaps with WINS) - should I put the new server in my domain (but I want to get rid of my domain and put everything in other companies domain) - how do I test that I do have a connection. thanks, James.
