Application Conversion Assistant and Application Connector for Lotus Notes Do Not Support Windows 2000 or Outlook 2000

The Microsoft Exchange Application Conversion Assistant and Application Connector for Lotus Notes do not support beta or final releases of Microsoft Windows 2000 or Microsoft Outlook 2000. For more information about the software and operating system requirements for these programs, see the Developer's Guide for the Microsoft Exchange Application Conversion Assistant for Lotus Notes (Appconv.rtf) or the Administrator's Guide for the Microsoft Exchange Application Connector for Lotus Notes (Appconn.rtf). These files are located in the folder in which the associated program is installed.

Running the Move Server Wizard in an Environment with Active Directory Connector Causes Loss of Accounts

In an environment where the Active Directory Connector is set up as a link between Exchange Server 5.5 and Active Directory, do not run the Move Server wizard. Running the Move Server wizard in this environment causes the Active Directory Connector to delete the Windows 2000 accounts of users moved by the Move Server wizard.

Windows 2000 Does Not Support TP4 X.400 Connectors

If you have a Transport Class 4 (TP4) X.400 Connector installed, do not upgrade your Exchange Server computer to Windows 2000. Windows 2000 does not support the TP4 transport protocol.

Windows 2000 Release Candidate 2 or Later Is Required to Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) with Exchange 5.5 Service Pack 3

To start the Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) Key Manager in Windows 2000, click Start, click Run, type keyring.exe in the Open box, and then click OK.

Installing the Internet Mail Service on a Windows 2000 Member Server

If your computer running Windows 2000 is a member of an existing domain and you attempt to install the Internet Mail Service, you are prompted to configure a Domain Name System (DNS) domain name before continuing. This message prompts you to use the Network tool in Control Panel, which is incorrect. If you use the Network tool in Control Panel to make the necessary changes, and then attempt to perform the operation again, you receive the same message.

To correctly configure a DNS domain name:

1. In Control Panel, double-click System.
2. Click the Network Identification tab, click Properties, and then click More.
3. In the Primary DNS suffix of this computer box, type the appropriate DNS domain name, and then click OK to close each open dialog box. If you are not sure what to type, contact your system administrator.
4. Restart the computer.

Service Pack 3 Includes Microsoft Outlook 2000, Not Microsoft Outlook 98

The Before You Begin section in the release notes for Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 3 indicates that the service pack includes Microsoft Outlook 98, which is not true. The service pack actually includes Microsoft Outlook 2000.
