Integrate Exchange 2003 into multiple separate domains |
|
|
I have a customer with 5 hotels which all have independant Windows server
2003 domains. They are looking at moving from local mdaemon boxes to
installing Exchange 2003 servers in each site. They want to have all users
from all hotels listed under the Global Address List. Is it possible to setup
an Exchange 2003 Org using 5 separate domains or do I need to setup trusts
etc for this to work?

Wow. The domains are not the issue, the forest boundaries are. Exchange
expects to exist in a single forest. If that's not the case here, you'll
need to drill down into exactly what the requirements are. Do they just
want a shared GAL? If so, then you have some options. Do they need to
share public folder resources? Administration? That would indicate a
different solution altogether.

The only requirement is GAL. As the hotels operate independently they do not
require access to each others public folders etc..

Then you want a common GAL across several ORGs. The tools to look into that
I'm aware of, would be MIIS (IIFP would probably be what you're after;
easier and cheaper to work with) or SimpleSync. Pretty much any
metadirectory tools would be fine though.
There should still be some information about multiple forest implementation
deployments at http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/library
