XFOR: Directory Entries Not Imported From Novell GroupWise (246385)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 SP3
This article was previously published under Q246385 SYMPTOMS
If you use an import filter to specify that certain directory entries from a Novell GroupWise post office need to be imported during directory synchronization (dirsync), and then you perform a full reload, the entries are not imported. This issue occurs if you specify a domain, post office, or directory entry name that contains extended characters.
CAUSE
This issue occurs because the code pages used by the Exchange Server computer and the Novell GroupWise Application Programming Interface (API) Gateway are different. Exchange Server can convert code pages during dirsync, but it performs this conversion process after the import filter has been evaluated. If the code pages are different and the strings that are specified in the import filter contain extended characters, this may prevent the Exchange Server computer from properly evaluating the import filter to determine which directory entries to import.
