All CMN documentation is intended for network administrators, consultants, analysts, and any other IT professionals who will install or use the product components, or who may help plan for their use in a coexistence scenario. All of these documents, including the online Help, are bundled and installed with the product, and all except the Help files are also available separately at Quest's Support Portal.
This table shows where you can find particular types of information about particular CMN components:
The CMN application Help files contain the same information as the User Guide, but make the information available on-screen at a single keystroke (from the CMN Management Console).

Directory coexistence: Most organizations routinely experience staff additions, departures and transfers. These staff changes introduce data inconsistencies between the two environments’ directories. A directory update reconciles these differences by updating the contents of one directory to match the contents of another. A bidirectional update ensures that both directories contain all of the organization’s users, resources and groups. |
|
• |
Mail coexistence: Simple, direct SMTP mail routing is easy to configure, but does not preserve or compensate for substantial cross-platform losses in the fidelity of message contents: attributes, attachments, calendar data, and so forth. Notes and Exchange environments offer similar email and calendar capabilities, but implement many features differently. Outlook therefore does not handle certain message types that originate in Notes, and vice versa. Often the recipient client can display the pertinent information correctly, but cannot perform the calendar updates that would have been automatic if the recipient and sender were using the same email system. Or sometimes the receiving client can perform automatic calendar updates, but introduces errors— incorrect times, missing dates, or extraneous meetings, etc. |
|
• |
Free/Busy coexistence: The Notes and Exchange environments implement calendar free/busy queries differently, making each side blind to the availability status of users on the other systems. The calendar applications on both sides need some mechanism to determine the free/busy status of users within the other environment. |
