Lync2010,Multi-Forest: How can we allow the Client Users of apple.com search for username@banana.com and be able to search and add them, without knowing the users sip address?

Hello everyone,

We have federating working, but in my environment if i open my user@apple.com's LYNC CLIENT, and type in the SIP ADDRESS "userb@banana.com" and send him a message it works fine.

This is fine and dandy, but how can I make it such that all the users of banana.com appear in the user@apple.com's Lync Client? How can I add them automatically and sync them so that users can add whom they want?

Currently the users have to know the other sip federated domainusers email address and type it manually, but I want the client to automatically have both domain users in it? What is the easiest way to do so? Thanks!

Can you explain how to do that? They are already federated, so how to do I sync that AD Object msRTCSIP-PrimaryUserAddress accross both domains to allow it do so?

(Or at least point me to an article or guide on how to do so? Ive googled around and could not figure it out)

So in order to be searchable by the LYNC CLIENT GAL (not just exchange gal), I can just:

1. manually create a Contact (in AD Users&Computers)

2. assign a msRTCSIP-PrimaryUserAddress (in AdsiEdit)

3. Update-CsUserDatabase

4. Update-CsAddressBook

5. Then reboot the lync server, client, and domain controller, and it will appear in the Contact List afterwards?
