I made some research and test but still wonder.

I've got a mixed organization with Exchange 5.5 sites not yet migrated and
sites that have been migrated to Exchange 2K3.

I need to add a brand new subsidiary so I create a subdomain in AD, a new
Admin group (NewAG) in which I install an Exchange 2K3 server.

Do I need to do something special for the recipients in this new susidiary
to be visible in the 5.5 Gal?

So far from my tests:

I can't add an SRS in the new AG to revert to a well known situation (adc
and ca's)

In the 5.5 directory I see the NewAG site with it's configuration container
wich comes thru a config_ca from an other site.

But what about the Recipient container?

I see it in one SRS but it doesn't seems to get replicated to the rest of
the 5.5 organization!

Thanks for your help

Thanks for this info.

what bugs me is that I see the configuration and the populated recipient
container of this pure 2K3 AG from SRS in a mixed AG/Site but from but from
an Exchange 5.5 in the same mixed site I see the configuration and recipient
container but this last one is empty.

I'm gonna check if i find a recipient CA responsible for replication.

When you have a 'pure' Exchange 2000/2003 AG there is an SRS server
responsible for making sure that Exchange 5.5 know about the AG/Site. The
problem is that the KCC process randomly chooses what Exchange 2000/2003
SRS
server will be responsible for the site. Here's what's worked in the past
in
this situation.

1. Manually set which SRS sever owns the 'pure' Exchange 2000/2003 site
a. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315408
2. Create a recipient connection agreement and point it to the SRS server
that owns the site.
a. Remeber to set port 379 as the port on the 'From Exchange' Tab
3. Wait...

You should have a recipient connection agreement for every Exchange site that
you have.
