I'm trying to see if it's at all possible to link Exchange 2000 GAL's
between our UK office and in the U.S. We have two separate Win2k
forests with an explicit trust setup. Both are in Win2k Native Mode
as well as Exchange 2000.

Am I right in saying that this should be possible to do by setting up
the Site Replication Service (SRS) and an SMTP connector in System
Manager? Has anyone done this before and if so if you could give
advice on steps.

Many Thanks,

Michael

If you've got big forests you may consider creating a metadirectory and
synchronize mail recipients from a forest and make them mail-enabled
contacts in the other, and vice-versa. Also this ensure all your corp
information (non-security attributes, directory-oriented) are stored in
a custom LDAP directory.

MMS do that very well and Microsoft made a configuration helper to do
this (rather than writing lines of code ;))
