XFOR: Notes Migration Source Extractor Fails To Migrate Mail (240873)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q240873

SYMPTOMS

The Notes Migration wizard mail may fail to migrate messages from a Lotus Notes user's mailbox. The Migration wizard also finishes without any errors in the event log.

CAUSE

The Lotus Notes user's mail database template has been changed from the default Mail (R4.6) template to the Mail - Combined (R4.6) template. The change in the database template generates a different response to the Lotus Notes Migration wizard's extraction calls, which results in the incomplete mail migration.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server 5.5. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
