We need to have an Exchnage server 5.5 global address book auto sync with a Groupwise 5.5 global address book over a standard internet connection.

We know that it can be done via a VPN but do not have a VPN in place. It can also be done by setting up Groupwise at the Exchange site but this site has no Groupwise skill so is not a viable answer.

The amount of data requried to be transferred is irrelevant as both systems have DSL connections to the internet.

Is there a mechanism that can be setup up to provide an auto sync process?? It would be great if the process works both ways as theree is a need to have the Groupwise address book details update the Exchange server as well!

Set up a GW to Exchange gateway at your site. Set the gateway to connect to the exchange server of your choice. You will need to create a special account with the rights to connect to exchange and GW. In the gateway, select those things you wish to synchronize. Then select the direction of synchronization into GW, into Echange or both. Actually read the documentation online for a good overview of the gateway process for GW at Novell's site. Once you decided on and create the userid and password, the synchronization is pretty easy.

I have set this gateway up at several customers that need to connect to suppliers. Works very well.

Send email if you need more info.

Sync both address books efforts is like join the two mail systems.
You have two choices:
a.- Set a GW system on the exchange site
b.- Set an Exchange system at the GW site.
The matter is: both can sync (and exchange mail) once the have a MAPI connection, that is a letter+path mapped to the other post office, like s:\myoffice\gw\postoffice1
Step 1:
Set an exchange system on the exchange site
(as you said, you can ride with this no?)Install SP3 and check full interoperations with your site
Step 2:
Set an API gateway in the GW system, and configure the exchange. Here you have the options to "what to sync"
I'm sending you a .doc file with a step by step on how to set up the Netware side and the exchange site.

Hope it helps!!
