Two pools in the same domain cannot see each other, why?

Question
-
Hello,
How can I have two pools communicating with each other in the same domain?
One sinlge forest, one single domain, MyDomain.com, two LCS2005 w/SP1 servers, one pool on each server, pool1 and pool2. DNS includes A and SRV records for both pools. Certificates from Internal Stand-alone CA have been deployed and MTLS is being used. In AD User Account properties I can see the two pools and I can choose which one to assign to the user which is a good thing. However when trying to see users from the other domain, they always appear as Offline.
I have followed MS white papers for the deployment so far. Just for the record, pool1 is pre-existing and I just brought pool2 up recently. Eventually I will decommision pool1 and keep pool2 but I would like to have them up and running together for a while. The reason for the whole thing is using a different name for the pool. Apparently I could not rename the existing pool so I had to create a new one.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,

Check your certificates and see if you have SAN on them. I had to change my certificates and add subject alternate names.

Make sure you have these two hotfixes installed on your LCS05 server.

That's done and I do have communication between the two pools. I do appreciate your help and I will mark this one as answered.
However when I try to access the properties of the new pool in the old pool's LCS snap in, I get this error:
Live Communications Server Snap-in cannot read some of the proxy information from Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). Close Live Communications Server property pages, restart WMI, and then try again.
Needless to say that I have restarted WMI plus rebooted the servers. Not good enough on Google. I am so close to get this thing working. Any ideas?
Regards,
Chris
