Sharing calendar information between 5.5 & 2003 in seperate organisations.

Quite simply, can it be done and if so how?

We have an W2K 5.5 exchange set-up that we want to gradually migrate users out of and in to Ex2003.   The systems are not in the same organisation.  With the process of migration being gradual some users who may need to look at each other  calendars may find themselves on seperate e-mail systems.  By default I don't think it is possible to allow access for a users to access folders across orgs.   Is this true?   Is there any third party products or work arounds that may help?

Cheers

Mark.

Unfortunatly I am in the same boat as you with Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003 migration. When you start moving users from 5.5 to 2k3 they will loose the ability to see things between orgs. i have talked with nurmerous consultants and there really seems to be no work arounds. I have the issue with address books. I didn't want to have to keep doing exports and imports but that is the only work around.

Maybe putting the Calanders into a public folder aspect might work. If you find something let me know, as it will be and issue with me as well and I have had no luck findiung anything to use.

Best of Luck!!

I guessed others would have come across the situation... hopefully there's someone out there that's worked round it too.

You mentioed address books (GAL's?) we've set-up connectors to take care of this replication so the task is automated.  Worth a look at.

How did you setup the Connectors if you do not mind me asking???

Hi all,

Kristinaw - Thanks for the link.  Not sure but looks like the tool is for between orgs of the same version... or at least not 5.5 anyway.  Says there was an old 5.5 version tho so maybe be able to use that one way and the new one the other... worth a look.

pterranova - in regard to your query on the connectors have a look at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;822921.  Hope it helps.  Also just search for other info on ADC's.

Kentonwright - Sounds interesting and I'll check out the products you mention.  However, I can't see an attchment.

Cheers
Sorry the attachment mentioned is the readme file that comes when you download the InterOrg replication tool.  When you extract the executable, there will be a Word doc included.  It goes into much detail on setting the tool up.
