Lotus Notes invitations to Exchange users result in NDR (174730)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q174730 SYMPTOMS
When you send a meeting invitation to a Microsoft Exchange client from a
Lotus Notes client, the message may result in the following non-delivery
report (NDR):
No route found to domain <LOTUSDOMAIN> from server
<SERVERNAME/LOTUSDOMAIN>. Check Server, Connection and Domain documents
in Name and Address book.
CAUSE
This NDR is generated because the Lotus Notes Server cannot correctly
route meeting requests to the domain where the Exchange user resides. By
default, the configuration document for a foreign domain in Lotus Notes
does not contain a path to a calendar server.
WORKAROUND
The domain document in Lotus Notes can be adjusted to allow meeting
requests to be sent from Lotus Notes to Outlook or Exchange Clients.
However, this will not add the meeting requests to the Outlook Calendar.
The adjustment will only allow the message to be sent. Currently there is
no direct support for schedule and appointment requests between Microsoft
Exchange Server and Lotus Notes.
To adjust the domain document in Lotus Notes, open the Lotus Notes
Administrator program and perform the following steps:
- Open the Name and Address Book.
- Go to the Server\Domain and open the domain document for the Exchange
Server computer (Exchange by default).
- Click Edit Domain.
- Under the Calendar section, copy the Gateway server name into the
Calendar server name.
- For Calendar system, type in the name of the domain message database
(Exchange.box by default).
- Save the document and restart Lotus Notes Server.
Lotus Notes users will now be able to send meeting requests to Exchange
client users without receiving an NDR. However, the Exchange client users
will need to manually enter the invitation into their calendar.
