Re: Exchange 2 Domains

The Master <TheMaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> typed:
I have a 2003 domain setup in 1 site no exchange present, I have now
found out that we are connecting to another site,

What's in that other location's network right now? If the answer is "not
much", then "2 domains" isn't really the right phrase here - you can, and
really should, have a single AD domain, with two sites.

If they've already got an AD domain, and you have an entirely separate one,
you have quite a bit more work cut out for you.


we will be
installing a new 2003 server in this site and need to install
Exchange 2003 on this server, whats the best model for this,

Much depends on the answer to the above....


connectivity is available via Broadband,

Via VPN? Leased line between the two offices?

we have approx 50 users per
site, only 1 exchange server must be installed;

No problem there, but you ought to make sure you've got another domain
controller/DC/GC in the other location where the Exchange server will be. It
should be set up in its own AD site/subnet.



We must be able to accomplish the following;

Users need to be able to log into both sites, on different PC's and
be able to access exchange from both sites via outlook 2003.

OK - if you have a single domain (or a domain trust between two different
ones) this isn't that big a deal....however, roaming profiles will not be
very useful if a user in site A goes to site B and wants to log into the
domain from there. It'll probably take ages to log in the first time, even
with a small profile.

We need Outlook to automatically setup itself up for the users, with
the server name , username etc?

That's not an Exchange thing. You'd have to use a customized profile tool
for that. Search at www.slipstick.com for 'profile' .

Any questions fire away

I think I did!
