Michael, I don't think you can do this in 2003 ADUC because we created a domain local test distribution group and added the distribution group from the account forest to this test distribution group. Nothing shows up in the GAL on the new Exchange 2010 server. I think that is because anything you do Exchange related is to be done from the Exchange 2010 server. I saw a couple of things about creating contacts to get around this, but I was hoping not to do extra work. When you brought up the suggestion long ago about a Gal Sync utility, I researched this and suggested to management that we should get a utility that will sync the GAL's. However, they denied it. I guess until the right person feels the pain of dealing with these types of issues during the migration, I will have to find work arounds for everything a GAL sync utility would do for us.
Thanks, Chris ________________________________ From: Michael B.

Your second choice is to create a contact. This, among others, is the reason why (long ago) I recommended you get and use a galsync utility. :-P Regards, Michael B.

We currently have no GAL sync utility and I cannot find the correct command on how to do this (if it is even possible). I have been able to successfully add a user account from the account forest to have permissions on a "resource mailbox" in the Exchange 2010 resource forest using the following command: Add-MailboxPermission -identity "resource mailbox" -AccessRights ReadPermission,FullAccess,ExternalAccount -user "Account forest domain\user" -Inheritancetype all The users that I am trying to add have not been migrated to the new Exchange Server yet and that is why I am trying to find this workaround. I have no problems adding members that have already been migrated to the new Exchange 2010 resource forest. Trying to use a cmdlet like the following below and it keeps failing. Any help or thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated! Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity "Distribution Group" -ExternalAccount -user "Account Domain\user" Chris Pohlschneider Holloway Sportswear Network Administrator chris.pohlschnei...@hollowayusa.com<mailto:chris.pohlschnei...@hollowayusa.com> 937-494-2559 --- You are currently subscribed to exchangelist as: mich...@smithcons.com<mailto:mich...@smithcons.com>.
