Hi folks,

We've got an Exchange organisation here with 2 sites, each with a server running 
Exchange 5.5 SP4.  There are 2 domains, the boundaries of
which are the same as the sites, connected by a 2-way trust.  Connectivity between the 
sites/domains is very good (lan speeds), we are set
up this way for organisational/historical/political reasons, not technical ones. There 
is a site connector between the sites.

We have a problem in one of the 2 sites, in that most users  found one day that they 
could not see the GAL.  Domain admins in this site
could.  This site runs in an NT4 domain.  There were no GAL problems visible in the 
connected site.  An additional problem discovered
slightly later  is that the only users in the second site who could see the calendars 
of users in the site with problems were those logged
in to their domain with admin rights.  Users in this second site are in a W2K 
native-mode domain.  

I do not directly administer either the Exchange server or the NT domain controllers 
in the site with the GAL problem.  I'm assured that
this happened suddenly without anyone making any changes, I'm not sure whether to take 
my colleages' word for this!  We've not seen any
problem with the mail flow between the sites, nor have any non-Exchange problems been 
reported, as far as I know.  Directory replication
between the sites appears fine.
Anyone got any ideas where I should start looking?  

Initial research on Technet suggests problems with Address Book Views (Q173760, 
Q248398), but although there is an ABV set up, this has
never been used.  We have checked the rights on this and no-one has been explicitly 
given rights. In addition, we are not seeing the
abnormal CPU ultilizations associated with ABV storms.
