Can I share the Exchange GAL between 6 separate Active Directory domains? I have 5 unique domains all have setup bi-directional trusts between each other. For each domain I have an exchange org. There were 5 business merges which lead to all the 5 domains with external trusts to each other The requirement to share the GAL is needed as we plan to migrate all of the 5 2000/2003 Domain to a 6 windows 2003 domain for consolidation of all 5 domains. Thank you, John
To synchronize Recipients across Forests so that they show up in each others' GALs, you can use GALSync in MIIS Feature Pack. Rod Fournier has step-by-step instructions on his blog http://msmvps.com/clustering/archive/2004/10/06/15141.aspx - To be able to see each others' Free/Busy info, you can use the Inter-Org Replication Tool. (Can also replicate any other Public Folders between the 2 Orgs). http://msmvps.com/clustering/archive/2004/10/06/15140.aspx -- Bharat Suneja MVP - Exchange www.zenprise.com NEW blog location: www.exchangepedia.com/blog ---------------------------------------------- "John" wrote in message news:3F91E020-335A-4753-8DE8-30D5485B1631@microsoft.com... > Can I share the Exchange GAL between 6 separate Active Directory domains? > > I have 5 unique domains all have setup bi-directional trusts between each > other. > > For each domain I have an exchange org. > > There were 5 business merges which lead to all the 5 domains with external > trusts to each other > > The requirement to share the GAL is needed as we plan to migrate all of > the > 5 2000/2003 Domain to a 6 windows 2003 domain for consolidation of all 5 > domains. > > Thank you, > John >
