Outlook & 2 exchange servers

Hi

I've got the need to connect to 2 exchange servers, one is onsite, the other
is a VPN away.

I've got it set up so I can see each server by IP address and have
corresponding host file entry so I can refer to the server by name.

I can connect to either exchange server using outlook, but I want to be able
to connect to both simultaneously, for the puropse of only receiving not
sending (and checking the calendars).

Is there a third party utility anyone is aware of that will allow this, or
some black magic I can perform with Outlook.

Cheers

Mark

You can access one using a standard Exchange account and the other via an
IMAP account.

.....or use Outlook for one, and OWA for the other.
 
Hi, cheers for your response, but I'm going to change the question.

Accessing calendars is the priority, emails not so important.

Basically we have acquired new businesses and require access to the Outlook
calendars of all the directors of the companies purchased. The VPN's have
been set up to all sites for acessing the file servers etc.

Multiple open OWA windows has been rejected already.

Unless the servers are in the same org/forest, you can't open up mailbox
items from other Exchange servers. Any plans to flatten out the
network/migrate these other servers to servers in your own Exchange
organization? That would be the best way to go. Otherwise, you will have to
use different Outlook profiles for each, log out/in to each, if you don't
want to use OWA.
