The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5

This article was previously published under Q234665

SUMMARY

When you migrate users from Lotus cc:Mail to Exchange Server 5.5, the following critical stop event ID may be logged:
Event Id: 238
Source: MSExchangeMigDS
Type: Error
Category: None

Description:

The e-mail address specified for import object "User" is not unique. ccmail:User at PostOffice has already been assigned to Address Book entry /o=xxxx/ou=xxxx/cn=Recipients/cn=CCMAIL/cn=DB14168E.

MORE INFORMATION

The event ID 238 in the "Summary" section of this article is a misleading event ID that may be related to the sequence of the add and delete transactions during the migration.

Even though the event 238 is generated as a critical stop, the cc:Mail user is actually correctly migrated; an Exchange Server mailbox is created for the user, and the user's cc:Mail custom recipient is deleted from the Exchange Server global address list.

In Exchange Server 5.5, the mailbox is added and the cc:Mail custom recipient is deleted. This process is different than the migration process in Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0, where the cc:Mail custom recipient is not deleted.
