When setting forwarding from the Source to the Target with Notes Migrator for Exchange the only option that is presented in the forwarding screen is to select an SMTP domain, which will result in SMTP forwarding from the Source Notes server to the Target Exchange Server. This is not a complete solution for environments that need to maintain coexistence between the two messaging systems.
In order to maintain coexistence between a Lotus Domino domain and a Microsoft Exchange Organization, it is necessary to install and configure the Connector for Lotus Notes for Microsoft Exchange. This is the only way that the two messaging systems will be able to maintain Free Busy and Calendaring functions. If coexistence of this nature is required then there is an option to configure Notes Migrator for Exchange so that forwarding can be set to forward through the connector and not by SMTP forwarding when you are forwarding from Notes to your Exchange environment.
To set forwarding so that it forwards through the connector in Notes Migrator for Exchange, please do the following:
Under the [Notes] section of the notesmigapp.ini create the following:
NotesStyleFwdAddr=1
CreateFwdAddrInAD=1
FwdCsvField=value
This will set the NOTES style address in Exchange.
A description of the fields are as follows:
NotesStyleFwdAddr=1
If a NOTES style address will be used in the CSV file, then this setting will be needed. This will allow you to enter a Notes style address as the forwarding address.
CreateFwdAddrInAD=1
This is needed if the proxy address is to be populated to Exchange for the forwarding address and no Recipient Policy has been set on the target Exchange server to create these type of forwarding addresses.
FwdCsvField=value WHERE value can be one of the following:
TargetAddress, SourceAddress, ForwardingAddress
If you select the Forwarding Address value, then you will need to manually create a new column in your User list tsv file, call it ForwardingAddress and enter the Forwarding address that you will be using for each mailbox.
Forwarding through the Microsoft Connector for Lotus Notes is possible in version 3.1 and 3.2 of Notes Migrator for Exchange. This applies only when you are forwarding from Notes to Exchange. This workaround does not exist when you are trying to forward from Exchange to Notes.
