SYMPTOMS
The following list are symptoms that you might see if you have assigned a password to the ID file for the Microsoft Exchange Connector for Lotus Notes:
 * There is no mail flow over the Exchange Notes Connector, and the sender generates a non-delivery report (NDR).
 * Directory Synchronization is not successful.
 * When you view the status of the Exchange Notes Connector processes, which is in the Process Manager of the Microsoft Connectivity Administrator, Convert Exchange to Notes (LME-NOTES-MEXNTS) and Convert Notes to Exchange (LME-NOTES-NTSMEX) show a &quot;clock&quot; symbol instead of a green icon, which indicates a status of &quot;started.&quot;

The Current Activity field for these processes states that they are logging into the Notes Mail queue.



CAUSE
The Exchange Notes Connector has no place in which to specify a password for the Notes ID file that is associated with the connector.



RESOLUTION
Removing the password from the Notes ID should resolve the problem. To remove the password, you can use either of these methods:
 * Create a new ID file, and then set the appropriate permissions.
 * Re-certify the Notes ID with a blank password. For more information, see the documentation accompanying the Notes server software.



MORE INFORMATION
In Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server, you can specify a password for the Connector ID, and so it is not required to have a Connector ID without a password.
