One of my customer is hosting 4-5 companies on a single exchange 2007. They used a control panel (DotNetPanel) for GAL segregation and is working fine. Now they have a requirement to share schedule free busy information between different GALs.Any pointers???Raj

You might want to ask DotNetPanel. The answer depends on how they achieve your GAL segregation, I think.-- Ed Crowley MVP"There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."."Rajnish R Sharma" wrote in message news:9fc078b7-2c29-46f3-bc9c-d08f19ad489b...One of my customer is hosting 4-5 companies on a single exchange 2007.

On my current project I am using Quest Collaboration Services (QCS). But it is little different in your case. It depends on how you configured the GAL segregation. I would say download a demo version and test it in the lab. http://www.quest.com/collaboration-services/ Santhosh Sivarajan | MCTS, MCSE (W2K3/W2K/NT4), MCSA (W2K3/W2K/MSG), CCNA, Network+ Houston, TX http://blogs.sivarajan.com/ http://publications.sivarajan.com/ This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

You are right Ed.. I already asked DNP guys and they simply refuse to help as this is "impossible" accoridng to them. I have checked the permissions on ADSIedit on each GAL and it looks like, the security group for each company has been given permission for that particular AL. No body has permission to access the Global address list. I think this is the normal and even HMC does the same thing for GAL segregation. I tried to add the security group of other GAL and assign the same permssion but was of no help.Raj
