But I am having trouble remembering if this was the interorg sync tool or the interorg replication tool. This may be it: It is important to understand that the service account and mailbox that you create must be listed as an owner of each public folder and subfolder you want to replicate, on either the publisher or the subscriber. This enables the utility to replicate Anonymous and Default permissions from one organization to the other. Use Microsoft Outlook to change the ownership and the permissions of public folders. Or this: The computer where the InterOrg Replicator utility is installed must be located in the same domain as either the publisher or the subscriber servers. The computer must have: Interorg sync does not work across different languages. Here are some notes from one of my daily status reports Created test public folders on Exchange 5.5 VELOCYS-LAB1: - Public Folders - Test 1 - Test 1a - Test 2 - Test 2a - Test 3 - Test 3a - Test 3b - Test 4 - Test 4a - Test 5 - Test 5a Created test postings in each folder Installation of InterOrg Replication utility - Prepare the Publisher (VELOCYS-LAB1 Exchange 5.5) - Created service account - Username: interorg_sync_pub - Full Name: InterOrg Synchronization Publisher Account - Description: fakebattelle is the password - Password: fakebattelle - Password Never Expires - Created associated Exchange 5.5 mailbox - Used Outlook to add interorg_sync_pub account as Owner of the following folders - Test 1 - Test 1a - Test 2a - Test 3 - Test 3b - Test 5 - Used Exchange System Administrator to add client permissions of Owner for free/busy information - SCHEDULE+ FREE/BUSY - EX:/o=FakeBattelle/ou=Battelle - Used Outlook to create "ExchsyncSecurityFolder" as a top-level folder - Specified the following permissions - Default None - Anonymous None - interorg_sync_pub Custom (Folder visible) - Prepare Subscriber - Created service account (WS-PLC-EXCH01 Exchange 2000) - Username: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Full name: InterOrg Synchronization Subscriber (Velocys) - Password: velocys - Created associated Exchange 2000 mailbox - Ensured that Exchange 2000 mailbox was initialized in the store - Using Exchange System Manager, created following top-level folders - Test 1 - Test 2 - Test 3 - Test 4 - Test 5 - Using Exchange System Manager, gave interorg_sync_sub1 Publishing Editor to the following folders: - Test 1 - Test 2 - Test 3 - Test 4 - Test 5 - Using Exchange System Manager, gave interorg_sync_sub1 Publishing Editor permissions to the following system folders: - SCHEDULE+ FREE BUSY - EX:/o=Velocys/ou=First Administrative Group - To accomplish this, highlight "Public Folders" and then choose "Action | View System Folders" from the menu - Used Exchange System Manager to create "ExchsyncSecurityFolder" as a top-level folder - Specified the following permissions - Default None - Anonymous None - interorg_sync_pub Custom (Folder visible) - Installing files on VELOCYS-LAB1 Exchange 5.5 server - Created directory "C:\EXCHSYNC" - Copied files from the Exchange Server 5.5 SP4 CD - Copied all files in the "\ENG\SERVER\SUPPORT\EXCHSYNC\I386" directory to "C:\EXCHSYNC" - Ran EXSCFG.EXE - Select "Session | Add" from the menu - Selected the "Schedule+ Free/Busy Replication" radio button and pressed the "OK" button - Entered "Velocys Free/Busy" for the Title field - Set Maximum Tasks field to "1" - Set Schedule to All Day, Every Day, 15 minutes - Enabled logging, ex00yymmdd.log - Publishing Organization - Server: VELOCYS-LAB1 - Mailbox: interorg_sync_pub - NT Account - Username: interorg_sync_pub - Password: fakebattelle - Domain: FAKEBATTELLE - Subscriber Organization - Server: WS-PLC-EXCH01 - Mailbox: interorg_sync_sub1 - NT Account - Username: interorg_sync_sub1 - Password: velocys - Domain: VELOCYS - Site List: All Sites - Select "Session | Add" from the menu - Selected the "Public Folder(s) Replication" radio button and pressed the "OK" button - Entered "Velocys Public Folders" for the Title field - Set Maximum Tasks field to "1" - Set Schedule to All Day, Every Day, 15 minutes - Enabled logging, ex01yymmdd.log - Publishing Organization - Server: VELOCYS-LAB1 - Mailbox: interorg_sync_pub - NT Account - Username: interorg_sync_pub - Password: fakebattelle - Domain: FAKEBATTELLE - Subscriber Organization - Server: WS-PLC-EXCH01 - Mailbox: interorg_sync_sub1 - NT Account - Username: interorg_sync_sub1 - Password: velocys - Domain: VELOCYS - Folder List - Test1 <-> Test1 Subfolders Deletions - Test2 <-> Test2 Subfolders Deletions - Test3 <-> Test3 Subfolders Deletions - Test4 <-> Test4 Subfolders Deletions - Test5 <-> Test5 Subfolders Deletions - Created Custom Recipient for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" - Ran EXSSRV.EXE - Pressed "Install" button - Account: FAKEBATTELLE\interorg_sync_pub - Password: fakebattelle - Configuration File: c:\exchsync\exchsync.esc - Working Directory: c:\exchsync - Automatic Startup: Yes - Start the service - Created Contact in Exchange 2000 for Greg Deckler - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Logged into Greg Deckler account on VELOCYS-LAB1 Exchange 5.5 server and added appointments including reoccurring appointments. - Waited for replication to occur. Also: The InterOrg Replication Configuration Utility Cannot Log On When A Mailbox Exists in More than One Site in an Exchange Organization If a mailbox exists in more than one site in an Exchange organization, the InterOrg Replication Configuration utility cannot log on to a server in that organization. This is true regardless of whether the organization is the publishing organization or the subscribing organization. If you should encounter this problem while installing the InterOrg Replication Configuration utility, rename one of the mailboxes in the target site and try to log on again. > I have setup the InterOrg Replication Utility to replicate public folders > between two different domains/organizations. > Everything appears to be installed correctly.
