Hi all,

We need to share Public folder and FreeBuy info between two exchange
organizations. (one forest A has exchange 2003 and another forest B has
exchange 2007)

I use the inter-organization replication tool

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee307369(EXCHG.80).aspx

The public folder works beautifully.

I have two questions regarding Free/Busy replication:

1) Since the F/B replication is only from Publisher to subscriber, do I need
to install the inter-organization replication tool in two forests?

2) Just for test, I created the mail-enabled contact of Forest B's user in
forest A, when I try to view that contact's Free/busy info, it shows "no
free/busy inormation could be retrieved" What am I missing? any additional
steps needed?

Thank you.

You certainly need bi-directional replication. I think that just
creating two connectors is enough. I haven't done this in a couple of
years, but I don't recall having to install IORT in both forests.

Is there any data in the F/B folder for that organization?
