If we created an inhouse DL manager, would we be able to keep the DL's in the root domain and be able to add memebership from other domains as long as they are Universal groups by making everyone use this custom prog? What if my child domains are mixed mode and my root domain is native mode? Will this cause a problem?

An unsupported MS product that provides a web front end to distribution list management and extends the supported feature set. Very useful, though a pain in the rear to setup. There's a document entitled 'The Ultimate Guide to AutoDL' or something similar on technet. MS use it internally for their DL management, well did at some point, I'm sure it's been upgraded since then! Darren. -----Original Message----- From: Salandra, Justin A.

They won't service exchange 2000 because the relevant provider doesn't run until the GC's are rebooted after they're promoted. Each GC needs to be rebooted once promoted, presumably after the SYSVOL replication if it's just been dcpromo'd. >> What if I was to setup an ADC for each domain I configure, is that >> possible? That should be OK, as the ADC checks against a GC in the forest when it's determining whether to create a new object or match it to an existing one. >> My DL's are universal distribution groups,wouldn't this solve that issue >> of updating membership through a MAPI client? I'm afraid not - the GC that the MAPI clients talk to is only capable of reading universal group membership (as it's replicated), though it cannot be modified if it's in a different domain. We've taken to using AutoDL instead....

I then configured the connection agreements between the exchange 5.5 server to the directory service in the child domain. I did have to do some extra steps with the root level adc service account, such as make it a service account admin in the exchange 5.5 org/site/configuration and a local admin of the new 2000 exchange server. Then of course reboot all the domain controllers in the child domain so the GC's would accept MAPI requests ( a must for actually migrating the user accounts).

I can see where you are coming from when users are created in Exchange then sent over to AD. Similar too with DL's and Custom Recipients. I am going to have to be careful on how I set that up. My DL's are universal distribution groups, wouldn't this solve that issue of updating membership through a MAPI client? Justin A.

In your environment you'd need multiple CA's from the Exchange Site into each domain in which you have Primary NT accounts associated with mailboxes in the store. So, that would replicate the 5.5 organisation information, public folder hierarchy etc etc into the AD, then the RCA's would equivalent objects in the AD. When you create a Windows 2000/Exchange 2000 user, the RUS would stamp it, then the information would be replicated back to the 5.5 directory by the ADC. However, to quote MS "For Exchange Server Custom Recipients, Distribution Lists, and Mailboxes which do not have a corresponding Active Directory user object, the ADC creates new objects in one of the Active Directory domains. You will need to decide in which Active Directory domain you want the ADC to create new objects." As far as the ADC goes, just follow the usual MS guidelines about port clashes with DC's, and I'm sure you'll be fine. The only problem I could perceive is that of updating distribution lists from a MAPI client. When we had clients that used a local GC (not in the same domain as the DL's) then we could not update DL's through MAPI. Anyone else seen this? Any workarounds? Well, I'm still not sure I've answered the question, or even know what the question was apart from 'what about the ADC'. Darren. -----Original Message----- From: Salandra, Justin A.

Keep in mind I still use exchange 5.5. -----Original Message----- From: Darren Sykes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2002 12:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Migration That You might have to clarify that a little, as: An Exchange organisation exists in the configuration naming context of the forest, and is therefore forest wide (thus only one Exchange org per forest). If you wish to locate users/servers in more than one AD domain, you'll need to domain prep that domain to setup the relevant objects. The complication with usually lies with multiple Exchange sites, not multiple domains. Perhaps I've missed the point!! Darren. -----Original Message----- From: Salandra, Justin A.
