OCS 2007 R2 in two trusted forests

Question
-
Hi All,Is there any way two have the users presence on the communicator of two trusted domains? In brief I have an OCS 2007 r2 server in each in two different domains which are trusted together. Can I have the presence information of the OCS users of both the domains on my communicator. I know it can be done with federation having two Edge servers in each of the domains. But is there any other way around?Wednesday, October 28, 2009 5:18 PM

There is not another way around federation for presence awareness, except if you put all users in one pool in one forest with some sort of directory sync.
