design advice: Exch 2007 servers for faculty and students...   
2 Exchange 2007 servers (one for faculty and one for students)
1 domain

Recently, I was told to integrate our students into our single active 
directory domain and create Exchange mailboxes for them.  We purchased 
licenses for 3 Exchange servers: 1 for faculty, 1 for students, and 1 to use 
as the front-end server.  I have created an ou for the students and created 
accounts for them on the student Exchange server.

My concern is that now students are mixed with faculty in the global address 
list.  I realize I can hide users from the gal, but, and correct me if I'm 
wrong, Outlook can't resolve the names of those hidden recipients because 
they are hidden.  If they are not hidden, then students can spam faculty and 
vice-versa.  I could create my own gal containing faculty and student 
address lists and then adjust permissions such that students can't see 
faculty and vice-versa.  However, that means that a recipient in the 
opposite address list wouldn't resolve since the sender doesn't have 
permission to that address list.  In addition, the default gal still 
contains all mailbox users anyway so making the separate lists didn't do 
that much good.

What is the best way to deal with this situation?  Is it okay for students 
to be able to see the faculy in the gal?  Also, is it safe to modify the 
purportedSearch attribute of the default gal so that it doesn't list any 
users?

Many thanks in advance for any advice!!!

- One really easy solution is to simply implement a transport rule to 
disallow messages from students to faculty (but can keep those from facutly 
to student if required, or implement it to disallow both ways).
- Also take a look at  shared hosting scenarios explained here:

Thanks for your response. But wouldn't that keep students from being able to 
e-mail faculty?  Students should still be allowed to e-mail students.  I'll 
take a look at that website.  Thanks!

I assumed that's what you wanted. If not, you'll just have to separate GALs 
as illustrated in the article I linked to in earlier response.

Re: design advice: Exch 2007 servers for faculty and students...   
Well, I want them to be able to send e-mail to faculty.  I would, 
however, prefer that they can't easily spam everyone in the gal.

Is it safe to modify the default gal by changing the purportedSearch 
attribute with adsiedit?  I've seen articles saying not to do this and 
I've seen articles saying it's okay to do this.

Thanks again for your assistance.
