I'm with Michael. We setup GalSync recently between us and the company we're "merging" with and had to Federate as part of that setup. Not exactly the same setup as you but, I would think it's necessary if you're sharing the same type of data.

We plan on using that as the inbound exchange server that will then route our stuff to the two existing AD environments with a new shared domain name. This new AD will be trusted (I am guessing) to both of the existing AD domains. The new AD domain will be on 2008r2. Recommended reading for upgrading my 2003 AD system to a 2008 AD system? We had been using a sync tool to sync all of our existing AD account with a Novell NDS environment - which we are finally about to be able to retire. I have now turned off the sync tool (dirxml). So, upgrading to 2008 was kind of my next step anyways. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael B.

I'm suggesting I can't imagine what else it would be. Although I would probably federate. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stringham, Steven Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2013 5:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Exchange] RE: GAL contact - problem with calendaring The other org is at AD 2008, not 2012. Are you suggesting that there is a problem with a difference in the schema between domains? (just trying to be really clear). We have not done an 2008 AD prep yet. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael B.

Don't TOUCH your DFL or FFL, just adprep. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stringham, Steven Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2013 4:49 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [Exchange] RE: GAL contact - problem with calendaring Nope - we just added contacts to a new OU in our AD (from the exchange system). The original entries were created using a script, but I deleted one of these and tested, and the problem goes away. When I added it back manually, the problem comes back. So, it is the contact entry in OUR AD system that is causing the problem. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael B.

In this process we have created contacts in both of our Ex2010 (sp2Ru6) environments of the users on both sides. They are AD 2008 and we are still on AD 2003. If I have a contact for them in my GAL: * When I send them a calendar invite, they open it up and their outlook blows up. There is no ipm.appointment value in the invite. * When they send me a calendar invite, I am able to accept it fine and it goes in my calendar. However, when they see the accept email, it does not properly associate with the original calendar item and gives an error that there is no calendar entry, even though the original entry is still in the calendar. If I remove the contact value from my GAL then all calendar communication works fine.
