Need to sync our AD with a partner company
I don't have many details yet but we are planning to synchronize our AD with a partner company. Not even sure what that means yet. We are running in Windows 2003 native mode and all but two of our DC's are Windows 2008 R2. I have no idea what the partner is running. I am guessing we just want to share our GAL with them so they can send email and book meetings more easily. Not even sure where to start. Is there anything native to Windows that can do this? Do I need to use Microsoft online services? Is there a good article that explains what we are trying to do?

Additionally, you'll need to be connected to them somehow....site to site VPN is probably the best way to do it. This will ensure the RODC is updated when changes are made on your side.

Well, that is one solution but isn't there something like a Federation Trust we can do between the two companies? I have read something about this but never did it.Would the Federation Trust require Microsoft services? Just wondering what our options are.
