Someone needs to do a cost-benefit analysis. I would guess that 2 forests = 1.6x the operations costs more or less.
I don't know Exchange at all... isn't there some way to constrain the policy to a subset of mailboxes? -gil -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Grillenmeier, Guido Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 2:44 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Migrate domain to separate forest > Because they want to have their out-of-office replies go to the internet hmm - that puts a whole new meaning to the requirements of a different forest. So just to get OOO replies configured the way they want, they're giving up being managed in the same forest and being in the same Exchange Org, having the same GAL as the rest as the company (or requiring extra mechanism to sync the users/contacts), or being able to easily share calendar data, simplifying resource sharing between any part of the company or allowing easy transition of users between other parts of the organiation. way to go. I certainly know of other reasons to create a separate forest, but I hadn't considered OOO configurations to be one of them :-) /Guido -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Larry Wahlers Sent: Mittwoch, 18.
