Hey!

I have
Exchange Server A: mail.a.com
Exchange Server B: mail.b.com
Exchange Server C: mail.c.com

All exchange server run in different AD Domains and have autodiscover etc. configured.

Every exchange server has a unique secondary smtp address a.com, b.com, c.om, BUT
all primary smtp addresses are company.com. There is a mailgateway in front where the MX of company.com points to. The gateway has a list with every user from every exchange organization and transports the mail accordinly.

Here's the problem:

I want to enable the possiblity of free/busy sharing between all 3 organizations.
I could create a Organization relationship between Exchange A and Exchange B and tell the connector to "roam" domain company.com, so it works between these to. If i want to add company.com to a second relationshio between A and C, Exchange says that company.com is already added to another connector.

I know thats a difficult tasks, but I hope somebody already had that problem or maybe an idea.
Major changes are unfortunalty not possible (like migrating all ADs to one or something like that) Building a ressource forest with one exchange for all is also not possible.

What I want to achive is that a user with mailaddress smith@mathieu.company .com on Exchange A can look for free/busy information for user example@mathieu.company .com which could lay on Exchange A, B or C.

Any ideas?
Thank you
CS

    Have you read the guidance about sharing calendar between two orgs?

    How did you tell the connector to roam company.com? By modifying "Source server" of the connector? I don't understand what's the relationship between this connector setting and your requirement.
