restricting address book access in Exchange 2007

We have a single Exchange 2007 server running that is the mail server for two companies. Originally company A and company B fell under the same umbrella so sharing the global address book was not an issue. However, recently company B has been acquired by company C (which has no affiliation to company A).

We would like to keep company A and company B on the same E2007 server but would like to make it so that they do not share the same global address book. In other words, company A distribution groups, users and contacts would be listed in GAL A and company B distribution groups, users and contact would be listed in GAL B

Is there a way to make this sort of change to an existing E2007 environment?

Simple but needs some head bounce .... this has to be worked more like how GAL Segregation works :)

Rancy,

Thanks for all of this information. It has taken me some time to digest this information. It sounds like option #1 in the first White Paper url that you provided is the way to go, but this does not appear to be a simple task.

Correct me if I am wrong but this requires a variety of steps and is not a simple task, right?

Thanks again,

al

Or said another way, I am not clear on what the steps are that I should follow to complete the setup that will produce the desired outcomes
