Question:
. . . we have recently installed GALsync 4 into our environment to share GALS with a similar sized third party company. My question is, when we run the import - which works perfectly well, it (obviously) doubles the size of our GAL - which makes life a little more complicated for our user base.
Is there a documented procedure you can recommend - that would enable us to view the imported contacts (in this case some 14,000) in their own dedicated address book - and NOT in the GAL itself.

Organizations often need to share availability (aka Free/Busy) information with other Exchange organizations. Depending on the version of Exchange Server you're on, there are different ways to do this. Let's take a look at three common scenarios and go through the exact steps required in order to achieve sharing of availability information between two on-premises Exchange organizations.
Scenarios:
1. Scenario 1: Both organizations running Exchange 2010 SP1
2. Scenario 2: One (or both) organizations running a mix of both Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010 SP1
3. Scenario 3: One (or both) organizations running a mix of Exchange 2003, Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010 SP1

Thanks to Henrick Walter for his article "Exchange Schema Versions - Common Questions & Answers". He describes that you can find your Exchange version by looking to the RangeUpper value in Active Directory Schema (configuration partition).
Unfortunately, I did not find out how to check the Rollup version for Exchange servers. To check this you may read Bhargav's IT Playground blog and its article "How do I check Update Rollup version on Exchange 20xx Server?" Download the mentioned PowerShell Script Get-ExchangeUpdateRollups.ps1 and run it! Works fantastically!
A short backgrounder
If you want to synchronize addresses and free/busy information between multiple Active Directory forests (or multiple Exchange Organizations) in a cross-forest scenario without having a Windows domain trust: then GALsync is the solution for you.
Your user or group objects are created at your partner's sites as contacts and they are displayed in the Global Address List (GAL). GALsync can also synchronize free/busy data

Sets the language attribute of Exchange 2010 mailboxes - use this powershell script
usage scenario: During a move mailbox scenario in a mid-large international company users told that they got Non Deleivery Reports (NDRs) in German language. Crazy, because all servers are set up with English OS and English Exchange Software - no German at all!

Empty all extension attributes and replace the value with NULL for all users with Exchange 2010 mailboxes
usage scenario: During a move mailbox scenario in a mid-large international company we had to empty all extension attributes (formerly called custom attributes). Some attributes still had values from a years ago migration.
First I thought to take ADModify.NET. But unfortunatly you can only replace one attribute at a time. So it would be too time-consuming with that utilitiy.
