What is the function of Notes Migrator for Exchange compatibility mode checkbox in the CMN Director Connector Creation Wizard option?
If this checkbox is marked, the connector will merge any processed object from the source that matches (by proxyaddresses) an existing object in the
target. For each processed object from the source, the connector will search the entire target directory (all containers) for any merged object with the same proxyaddress. If this checkbox is not marked, the Directory Connector will compare its source objects to the target objects, and will copy only new source objects into the target.
Note: This feature is intended to find and eliminate duplicate objects (same proxyaddresses), and thereby help prevent directory looping—
which would proliferate duplicate objects by copying them back and forth. Quest therefore recommends that you enable this feature (mark the checkbox) unless you have a particular strategic reason not to. If you experience connector errors that appear due to duplicate objects, or if you just want to learn more about duplicate objects, see
Connector Errors Due to Duplicate Objects in the Troubleshooting Appendix of CMN User Guide. This checkbox must be marked if you will use Quest’s CMN Free/Busy Connector.
Note Also: When using this NME compatibility mode with a Notes-to-Exchange connector (only), some admins report that Domino updates sometimes do not arrive in Active Directory, but this is a system latency issue rather than a CMN problem. Domino changes take a few seconds to propagate to the Notes LDAP service, and in some environments may be missed if a connector is run too soon after the updates are entered in Domino. Just wait a minute or two after the last of the Domino updates before running the connector.
