I have the current situation:

two domains, one org. exchange 5.5 sp4.  Multiple sites, some connected via
IMS Connected Site with directory replication connection over vpn.  At
present the vpn only allows smtp traffic.  Each side can control only their
own mailboxes (which is fine).

One domain in one country is beginning planning for a migration to AD and
E2k, anticipating but not requiring the other countries to do the same, so
there will be placeholders in the design for them.

It appears we need AD connection agreements with each site, but it doesn't
appear that this can run over smtp.  Without that, am I correct in thinking
that AD will see only the 5.5 users from sites with an ADC?  And as we
migrate to E2k, the outlook clients on will use AD as the directory, rather
than the 5.5 DS?

Is there a way around without requiring opening the VPN?
