SYMPTOMS
When you replicate items from Exchange Server to Lotus Notes and vice versa, the dates and times of items being replicated may appear incorrect. They may appear with a time difference that depends on their local time zone relative to the Greenwich mean time.

For example, the times are five hours apart if the server is located on the East Coast, but eight hours apart if the server is located in the Pacific time zone.



CAUSE
When you replicate from Exchange Server to Notes, the custom time and date properties undergo an erroneous Greenwich mean time translation. When you replicate from Notes to Exchange Server, Notes time and date stamps without specific date values (that is, editable Time field entry) do not go through a needed Greenwich mean time translation.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server version 5.5. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

191014 XGEN: How to Obtain the Latest Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack



WORKAROUND
By using the @Created formula in the SubDate field instead of a computed time entry within your form, you can resolve the time discrepancy error when replicating data from Notes to Exchange Server.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5. This problem was first corrected in Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 3.
