XFOR: Exchange Server Migration Does Not Work on Large Lotus Notes Mailbox (230068)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 SP1
  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 SP2

This article was previously published under Q230068

SYMPTOMS

When migrating large Notes mailboxes, using the Microsoft Exchange migration utility for Lotus Notes, the migration process may not complete. The migration utility, however, reports that it finished successfully, and the statistics of migrated data will not be equal to the initial data. For example, a user with 7,000 messages may find statistics that reports success with only 3,500 messages migrated. This problem may occur with either one-step or two-step migration.

WORKAROUND

To work around this, use the Microsoft Importer for Lotus Notes Mail. It has a higher success rate with large notes mailboxes. This tool is available for download from:

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Exchange Server version 5.5 for Service Packs 1 and 2.
