Good day, colleagues!

Have the task of organizing co-existence (no migration) ofLotus Domino and Microsoft Exchange e-mail systemsin one of the branches of the organization. More precisely, the challenge is to synchronize address books (directories) between systems.

The task is complicated by the fact that the deployed version of Exchange 2010, which is not supported by free Transporter Suite. Solutions from Quest (Dell) is great, but for the co-existence of Exchange and Lotus in one small branch of the company, we need to pay for the licenses for all Lotus mailboxesthroughout the organization, and that's serious money, as Lotus decent amount of people, despite the fact that Exchange users with a maximum couple hundred.

So we decided to consider as an alternative implementation of Exchange 2007 as described here. But unfortunately in this post all written in general terms. I would like more specific guides for the decision.

That is, for example, in this post, not a word about the fact that Exchange 2007 should be placed in a separate forest. Or am I wrong here? And we can deploy all in one forest and one domain? And if in the new forest, how to synchronize directories between Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010 then?

So, tell me where I can get detailed (step-by-step) guide to read about this kind of co-existence? Or advise some other solution?

Thank you!

Hi,

Thanks!

I read that thread before asking, but there is no proper answer on my question. But anyway, thanks.

I found, that if Exchange 2010 is deployed, there is no way to deploy Exchange 2007 in that domain. And I need to deploy it in another forest. But then I need to sync Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2007. It's a new problem. So, I think in my case Coexistence Manager for Notes by Quest Software is the best solution.  Even though the price will be no comparable toproblem. Because Exchange 2010 we need for a small branch, and licenses we must buy for all organisation.
