In this case, you would have to install the Outlook Connector
for Lotus Notes (or DAMO) and create a local .PST file for each mail file in
Domino. Once you do this, getting the mail file into Exchange is relatively
easy. Note: on the Lotus side, change the mail template to one of the
Web Access templates (assuming Notes v. 6.x or higher) then synchronize the
Address Book and Journal (if used) from the client before creating the .PST
file. This will populate contacts and journal entries in Exchange, making the
transition much easier for the users. If this isn’t possible, then march
on anyway. This isn’t a trivial move. Do it on a test system several
times before running it in production, since the free tools supplied don’t
work flawlessly. There are multiple issues we ran into with file size and problems
with the Lotus / Exchange Migration tool that made this task difficult. HTH. Kevin Suares Information Technology CSUS System Office Hartford, CT 06105 Jabber

Exchange 2003 (not 2007). The Lotus server is in a remote network, not
local LAN. There is no possibility of connecting them on the same network

There is no encryption involved. Any suggestions on how to migrate these users to
Exchange? If you have done such a migration please let me know what you
did. All the articles I have found so far appear to assume that the two
servers are in the same network and AD and that is not the case foir me. TIA! JW. |
