XFOR: Propagation of Lotus Notes Group to Exchange Server

ID: Q201315

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5

SYMPTOMS

When a Lotus Notes Group entry is propagated to an Exchange Server distribution list (DL) by means of directory synchronization, the created Exchange Server DL does not have an alias.

CAUSE

The default mapping from Notes to Exchange Server for the alias is:

Alias = ShortName

However, the Notes Group does not have a ShortName field, so there will be no alias for that alias entry in Exchange Server.

RESOLUTION

Microsoft recognizes the need for correcting this mapping anomaly. We have modified Exchange Server 5.5 so that this problem of mapping has now been corrected. To obtain this feature, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server 5.5. For more information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Q191014 XGEN: How to Obtain the Latest Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack

STATUS

This feature was first included in Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 2.
