I didn't get a response the first time. Thought I might try again...
I need to consolidate two separate email domains to a single domain. The
configuration is as follows:
Domain 1. Company.com
NT4.0 Domain
Exchange 5.5 SP4 (6 Servers in 6 sites)
1000 users
Domain 2. Sales.Company.com
W2K
Exchange 2000 (Singe Site, Single Server)
100 users
The situation is as follows the company.com domain is a large
established domain with 1,000 users. There is a plan to convert it to
Windows 2000 next year. So upgrading it to 2000 today is not going to
happen until the larger Win2K migration occurs and Active Directory is
rolled out.
Sales.Company.com sprung up as a "rogue site" without authority from the
corporate IT group, but the office has done well, and now politically in
the organization has some clout. They setup as Win2K from the get go,
and only have about 100 users. The corporate IT group doesn't really
want this to happen, but I've been asked to push through the following:
1. everyone in both domains needs a "@company.com" email address
2. A single global address list replicating between both sites 3.
Public Folder replication between the two sites 4. We can't put up a
domain trust between the two domains (political
reasons)
How would you do this? I am not extremely familiar with the Active
Directory Connector (or even Exchange2K), but it's my understanding it
can be setup to talk with exchange 5.5 without setting up a domain
trust. Will it also allow the GAL to replicate properly? Last does
anyone know a way to replicate the public folders?
I've seen some references to ADC "sucking" on the list, are we about to
go down a road we shouldn't. Even if we get it working will this be
problematical in the future? I don't want to get stuck with a solution
that only works part of the time.
Thanks,
Brian Politis
