XFOR: OLE Objects Larger Than 1 MB Not Migrated into Exchange

ID: Q174037

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5

SYMPTOMS

When you are migrating user data from Novell GroupWise into Microsoft Exchange, messages with OLE objects or links greater than 1 MB in size will not be migrated. Larger OLE objects (>1 MB) do not migrate at all and register an error in the Event Log.

CAUSE

The Microsoft Exchange Migration Wizard is currently unable to process OLE objects larger than 1 MB when they originate from Novell GroupWise.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Smaller OLE objects (<1 MB), when imported into Exchange, will act differently, depending on the client and the operating system you use to view them.
