Shared resources including GAL between two domains

I have two different properties/domains. Each has two DC's, one of which is an Exchange 2007 box. (Windows 2008 domain)

I have 7 users, including myself, that work between both properties.

How can I set up these users to use the same network resources/mapped drives from both properties? I would also like to set it so they can view the GAL from both Exchange servers.

Example: User A can have drives mapped from domain A and domain B, while at property A or property B as welll as view the GAL for both properties within Outlook.

I assume this may require setting up a domain trust, site-to-site VPN, both or something similar??

Thanks for any guidance on this subject...

You will need both of those plus a bit more.
In order to "share" Gal you will need to use Identity Integration Feature Pack or Microsoft Identity Integration Server.
The first one it's just an addon pack and it's free , the other one will cost something if I rememebr correctly.

After you set up the trust between the domains , you will be able to share the ressources between the 2 domains but for the GAL you will need to use one of the tools I suggested.

Can anyone elaborate or provide more details?

Am I going to change the IP scheme of one of the sites in order for particular users from each domain to access resources on both simultaneously?

What is the difference in Integration Feature Pack.Server?

Thanks!
