Migrator for Notes to Exchange 4.16.1 - Pre-Migration Planning Guide

•

Outlook archiving of migrated messages is delayed. Outlook archiving is not applied to migrated messages within the age range set for auto-archiving because Outlook determines message age by Last Modified time, which it updates to the migration date/time upon migration. Since all migrated messages become zero days old as soon as they are migrated, and Outlook won't let the Data Migration Wizard reset that property to its true pre-migration date/time, the Outlook archiving feature skips the messages until they have "re-aged" to the archive age (typically 30 days) following migration, at which time all of the migrated messages will be archived.

•

Changes to some migrated appointments may produce duplicates. Some instances of meetings scheduled in Outlook with a Notes attendee and updated prior to the Notes attendee's migration to Exchange, may appear twice in the attendee's Outlook calendar if further updates occur after the attendee is migrated to Exchange.

•

Outlook cannot add a logon-disabled account to an ACL list. This is a limitation of Microsoft Exchange, not of Migrator for Notes to Exchange.

•

MAPI bug prevents connection to on-premises Exchange if migrating using Outlook MAPI: A known MAPI bug in Windows Vista, and in Server 2008 R2 and later, may prevent Migrator for Notes to Exchange from connecting to an on-premises Exchange server if the Region and Language Format is set to Japanese. The same bug also prevents a user from creating new Outlook profiles using Exchange auto-discovery. The bug can be avoided if the sorting method for Japanese format is changed from default XJIS to Radical\Stroke. This change lets Migrator for Notes to Exchange create new profiles and subsequently migrate mail, but should have no other effect on the migration process. This issue does not occur when using the newer MNE MAPI/HTTP library to migrate data.

•

Encrypted mail migrated by SSDM is not re-encrypted. Encrypted mail is migrated via the Self-Service Desktop Migrator, but cannot be re-encrypted in Exchange/Outlook.

•

Groups cannot be added to security groups in mixed mode. When provisioning distribution groups to a server running mixed mode and creating security groups instead of distribution lists, an attempt to add a group to the security group will fail and generate an error to the program log.

PAB Replicator template option "SyncAndCopyToMailFile" merges multiple Notes address books into single Outlook Contacts folder. The address books are merged even if the administrator leaves the Merge into folder... check box clear (Data Migration Wizard, Specify Data for Migration screen). To migrate multiple address books to separate folders in Outlook, use the CopyToServer template option in the PAB Replicator Wizard, and leave the Merge into folder... check box clear in the Data Migration Wizard.
