XADM: Custom Recipients and Distribution Lists Are Not Moved But Are Mapped in Logs

• Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5

SYMPTOMS

If you start the Move Server wizard and choose not to move custom recipients and distribution lists, the log files indicate that the custom recipients and distribution lists are mapped. The entry is logged in the log files (Movesrvr.log in the Mvsrvdat directory) as follows:

3:01:13 PM 8/26/98 - Map Remote Recipients
3:01:13 PM 8/26/98 - Map Distribution Lists
3:02:25 PM 8/26/98 - Map Configuration Information

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Exchange Server version 5.5.

MORE INFORMATION

The mapping pass always includes the export of distribution list objects. If you choose not to move distribution lists, the only processing performed on distribution list objects during the mapping pass is a check of whether the owner of the distribution list objects is moving. If the owner is moving, a warning is included in the Report.txt file.

If you select the Don't Move Custom Recipients option, custom recipient mapping is skipped properly.
