There are three types of site connectors, RPC, X.400 and SMTP.  (I'm using
my own terminology because the standard terminology is confusing.)  Any of
these three let you connect sites using the "Connected Sites" tab.  For this
to work, your sites must have the exact same organization name, and it is
case sensitive.

You may use the SMTP or X.400 connector to connect two sites in different
organizations for messaging, but you can't use the "Connected Sites" tab.
Because of this, the standard directory replication and public folder
replication mechanisms will not work.

You can buy a third-party tool to do directory replication, like Microsoft
Metadirectory Server, or Compaq LDAP Directory Synchronization Utility
(LDSU).  You can try using the Interorg Synch tool from the Back Office
Resource Kit to replicate public folder content.

Subject: Site Connector between Disparate Orgs


Here's a question..

Can two exchsrvrs in different Org/Site's be connected across a Site
Connector (in place of IMC or x.400)? I've not seen phrasing in MS WP's that
states this cannot be done, though my testing seems to indicate it cannot.
