Exchange Gurus see if you can help

So here we go. Basic scenario. We have our plant in the US and our other plant in Norway. We both use exchange 2003. Is there anyway, because our two sites are linked via routers to have both exchange servers "see" each other and allow us to set up our exchange accounts on one of thier machines? It can already see our server and even find a mailbox it just says it unavailable when it actually tries to open. Any thoughts would be great. Also we use Server 2003 for the OS.

How is the AD setup? Are you all in the same forest? Different/same domains?

Different domains I believe and we may be in different forests. Can we bridge them?

i beleive you would have to all be in the same domain and same forest.

www.msexchange.org may be of some help.

You could create a two way trust between the domains/forests. Then you can grant rights from one domain to the other. A better solution is to have them both in the same forest. But, merging the two forest into one is a big job.
