ID: Q217040

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 5.0, 5.5

IMPORTANT: This article contains information about editing the registry. Before you edit the registry, make sure you understand how to restore it if a problem occurs. For information about how to do this, view the "Restoring the Registry" Help topic in Regedit.exe or the "Restoring a Registry Key" Help topic in Regedt32.exe.

SUMMARY

There are three directory synchronization (dirsync)-related mapping rules for the Microsoft Exchange Connector for Lotus cc:Mail. The first two are discussed in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

Q197254 Customize Dirsynced cc:Mail Display and Alias Names

This article describes the mapping rule for mapping information in the Comments field to Exchange attributes. Note that this applies to both DB6 and DB8 Post Offices.

MORE INFORMATION

By taking advantage of the Comments field in Lotus cc:Mail, it is possible to automatically map user-specific information such as office location, telephone, department, and so on to an Exchange Server-equivalent field.

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys And Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it. If you are running Windows NT, you should also update your Emergency Repair Disk (ERD).

Run the Registry Editor

Find the following registry location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeCCMC\Parameters

Add the following value:

Value Name	Dirsync Comment Rule
Data Type	String (REG_SZ)
String Value	desired string value

The following table lists the recognized parameters:

Parameter	Description
%a	Alias name
%d	Department
%o	Office
%p	Phone
%c	Custom attribute 1
;	Comment delimiters
Multiple spaces	Ignored

For example, in cc:Mail, if you have the rule, %a;%o;%p, and the comment, jsmith;43/3019;(425) 936-1111, this will map to the Alias, Office, and Phone fields for that custom recipient. If cc:Mail custom recipients already exist on the Exchange Server computer, deleting the custom recipients and running dirsync afterwards may be required for the comments in cc:Mail to mapped over to the cc:Mail custom recipient on Exchange Server.
