Also, in this scenario, would the mail gateway (Exchange1) serve as a backup to Exchange2? Not to automatically fail over, but if users connected to 1 instead of 2 would the data be there?
Are there changes I need to make to Exchange1 to have it act as the mail gateway to Exchange2? I can set up the VPN no problem between the 2.
I need to manually recreate all Mailboxes on Exchange2 to match Exchange1? Or do you mean move the mailboxes from 1 to 2?
Is the Global Catalog...
OK, here is what is in place already. We have a domain up and running using AD and Exchange 2003. Currently, all users use OWA to connect to Exchange1. Exchange1 and the Domain Controller for this domain are already setup and configured with all the Users/Mailboxes/SecurityPolicies/etc...
I wish that were an option my friend... Here is the thing. The Exch1 has been live now for months, and now they want to implement this "plan without a plan". So I'm trying to figure out a way to make this work. Thanks for all of your input markdmac and everyone else.

Exchange2(office server) will be used when they are in their local office.
Both servers will be live. Mail will come into the server here (Exchange1) and then need to be replicated to the office server(Exchange2). Mail will be sent through the office server(Exch2) and then need to...

I guess what I'm saying is that for fault tolerance I want users to be able to connect to EXCH2(remote location, WY) OR to EXCH1 (home location, Atlanta)in case of failure. So I would need up to date mailboxes,contacts,OWA features on both servers. Does that make more sense?
I want the EXCH2 server to maintain an updated copy of Mailboxes,contacts,etc that it obtains from EXCH1 via the Internet. If I move the mailboxes, wont they be on EXCH2 only?
An Example Scenario: If my Domain Controller (DC1) and 1st Exchange Server (EXCH1) are in Atlanta, and I add an Exchange Server to a location in Wyoming (EXCH2)and join it to the domain, what steps would I take to have my users in Wyoming connect to EXCH2 for their mail/contacts/OWA etc? In my...
