I have two domains on different locations. One is domain A.com and other domain B.com  .......... on domain A.com i have exchange server 2k3 and on B.com i don't, so users on B.com connect to exchange on A.com with pop3. Now , i want to install exchange on B.com and connect two exchange servers from both domains. There is no trust between two domains. I will be very thankful if u give me ideas, i need help on this cos i am new to networking. thanks, -- netmember ------------------------------------------------------------------------ netmember's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/113252.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/server-networking/1211240.htmhttp://forums.techarena.in

Hello netmember,

Please choose an Exchange NG for this question, this is not belonging to
networking:
microsoft.public.exchange.connectivity
microsoft.public.exchange.design
microsoft.public.exchange.misc
microsoft.public.exchange.setup
microsoft.public.exchange.tools
microsoft.public.exchange.admin

just some of them.

Best regards

Meinolf is right in saying that you are not posting to the most appropriate
group. Looking at the "signature" to your post I suspect that you are
posting via an on-line forum are may be aren't aware that your post is going
to a newsgroup. I suggest you fire up a newsgroup reader (windows mail does
fine, although there are plenty of others) and visit each of the newsgroups
that Meinolf suggested.

In answer to your question, do both sites share the same email domain (so
both are whate***@example.com) or do they have different email domains (eg
whate***@a.example.com and a**@b.example.com?).

Since one site is using pop3 I suspect that you are sharing the same email
domain, in which case this is outside of my experience so I can't advise.
However, if they have different email domains then the scenario becomes very
simple as each can be managed in isolation as an independent exchange
server. You could even go one step beyond and set each to act as a backup
email server for the other
(http://www.cryer.co.uk/brian/msexchange/exch_as_a_backup_email_server.htm).
Unless you have a pressing need for it, I would manage the two sites
separatly with separate email domains (but I understand that this would mean
staff at one site having new email addresses so human factors may make this
undesirable).
