Connecting Exchange Forests

[brontosaurus]

Hi All,

Here's my situation. Currently, I have one Exchange 5.5 organization with 2 sites. Each site is it's own W2K forest in different physical locations with high speed WAN connectivity. Directory Replication has worked seamlessly for years. Now, we're thinking about moving to Exchange 2K. My question is: Since E2K can't span multiple forests, how do we maintain any kind of directory replication? I know we can use INTERORG to replicate public folders and free/busy info, but what about the GAL? Unfortunately, I can't seem to get a solid answer on MS web site (and I haven't got my E2K book yet) as to whether this is at all possible. Am i out of luck with this?

Thanks for any thoughts.

Use one forest and AD does the replication.

You can still have multiple domains or setup one and 2 AD Sites. Dan
