XFOR: Notes Connector Doesn't Restart

ID: Q231974

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5

SYMPTOMS

The Exchange Notes Connector might shut down itself properly and can't be restarted, with the following events in the log file from the Connectivity Controller:

1999/03/23 15:16:08- LME-NOTES-MEXNTS(0136) 3 54002:MSExchange-Notes Transform terminated successfully
>> mex2nts(859)
1999/03/23 15:16:09- LME-NOTES(0158) 3 00505:LME-NOTES is ending, last return code was {Successful}
>> stdserv(1249)
1999/03/23 15:16:09- LME-NOTES(0158) 1 08230:The Microsoft Exchange Connector for Lotus Notes service has stopped
