The Lotus Notes connector in Exchange ought to achieve objective 1. By contact info do you mean the GAL? If so the Notes connector ought to allow for this as well. Without a connector though.... the directory part should be reasonably straightforward either by writing your own directory synchronization tool or using one off of the shelf (MMS, SimpleSync, etc.). As for calendaring... if your notes client supports sending meeting requests in iCal format, that shoudl work without a connector as well, but the other users free/busy information would not be available without an amazing boatload of work.
-----Original Message----- From: johnny li To: Exchange Discussions Sent: 10/4/2002 1:18 AM Subject: lost in exchange My company is partnering with another company. We both will be using exchange 2000. Currently we are on Lotus notes and they are on exchange 2000. Upper managment has made a few requests. I need help to find out if what the want is feasible 1) We need to be able to write calendar events to the other companies employees. Being able to modify those requests made would be nice also. But I am only required to make new calendar events. 2) We need to be able to pull the other companies or users contacts from their mail server. We just need to be able to see this info not write anything. there will be no trust or any type of connectors setup at all between us. basically all i can do is open up ports on exchange company needed to access the calendar and contact list. We can setup some type of user on there server with exchange admin rights. our programmers have an api that can talk to exchange i believe its just how do i set up the admin account on the box? My thoughts on how to do this is to set up an account on their server with admin rights for exchange and allow only writeing to calendar events and view only to contacts list. The problem is I dont know if this is possible to do. I have limited experience with exchange. I manage Lotus Notes usually but have been thrown into doing this. Im up for the challenge I just need some direction. Any help would be appreciated.
