Address list in another domain

[Steve Smith]

I think (I hope) that this is a simple question, but I've been searching for
the answer for months now, and I'm getting very frustrated.

I have an Exchange 2003 server, as does another city department. The other
city department exists in a completely different domain.

What I need is to provide access to a list all of the e-mail addresses from
the other department to our staff. I would like this e-mail address list to
be continuously updated without intervention.

This sounds like it should be simple, but I'm darned if I can do it. We've
already set up a trust between our domains, but this has not helped. The
administrator in the other department is kind of a dufus, but is at least
cooperative.

What is the easiest way to handle this?

Thanks

Can you get the LDAP access to the other address list?

 

[Steve Smith]

Good question. Actually, when their e-mail server was on Exchange 2000, that
is exactly how we got the list. When they upgraded to Exchange 2003, LDAP
did not work anymore.

Assuming that they get LDAP working again, is it possible to somehow use
Exchange to connect to their server without having to configure a seperate
address book within everyone's Outlook profile? I'm envisioning something
like an Offline address book, or maybe an automatically maintained public
folder.
